I''m having a hard time figuring out how to handle mouseover events w/ Ruby on Rails (esp. whether Javascript takes over, or the Controller should be used). I''m currently trying to create a simple mouseover info box showing the definition, and some other information, when certain words are moused-over. Say I have an array of Word objects that have 1) word name 2) definition

I currently have a call to this action, which I''d like to paginate: def get_words @catid = params[:category] @words = Category.find(@catid).words render :partial => "word_display", :collection => @words end As you can see, a word_display partial is rendered for each word.

I''ve noticed that Google & some search engines have indexed links into the site that are only meant to be reached through Ajax (link_to_remote) calls within the app. (e.g. www.brandfetch.com/rails/web_stats/get_domain_stats) I know how to handle calls to an unknown method, but how can I handle these links/calls to implemented

I used RJS extensively in my last web app with no problem. I''m just beginning a new one and having a very odd problem. The called method, get_names, retrieves some values from the database, then ends: render :layout => false the get_names.rjs file is rendered into Javascript, but then is just dumped as Javascript (text) into the browser: e.g: try {
