The subject line says it all. -- Is there a way to do something like: page.replace_html "#{var_containing_id_name}", :partial => ''edit'' That line of code does not work, but I would like to pass the name of a variable to page.replace_html. This variable would contain the id of the div I want to update. Anyone know if/how I could do that? Thanks! : ) Jason
