Rails - May 2011 - Ajax request

Hi

I''m trying to create an Ajax request that displays a list of inventory
items resulting from a search on a keyword.  How can I insert the list
of inventory items using a partial or a string of html onto the page
following the ajax request?  The following doesn''t work because I
can''t use a content_tag helper method in a controller.

I guess another question would be why doesn''t the inventories div
update and show the inventory items after the ajax request?

I have this in my controller (this uses a string of html)

  def find_by_keyword
    @inventories = Inventory.find(:all, :conditions =>
[''inventory_id
LIKE ?'', params[:inventory][:keyword]])
    @inventories_list = @inventories.map { |inventory|
content_tag("li", inventory[''id''])}
    render :inline => @inventories_list
  end

And this in the view:

	<% form_remote_tag :url => { :controller =>
"purchase_orders", :action => "find_by_keyword" },
:update=>
"inventories" do |f| -%>
	    <%= model_auto_completer(''inventory[keyword]'',
'''',
''inventory[inventory_id]'', '''', {:method
=> :get})%>
	    <%= submit_tag "Find!" %>
	<% end %>

	<div id = "inventories">
		<% if !@inventories.nil?%>
			<% for inventory in @inventories %>
				<% link_to inventory[''id''], :controller =>
"purchase_orders", :action => "new", :inventory_id =>
inventory[''id'']
%>
			<% end %>
		<% end %>
	</div>

You can  have a view file for that action as you would for any other action
