Hi.
with an RJS, if you have just a one liner, instead of making an rjs page
for it, you’d do render :update do |page|…
but what about rhtml pages? I just have a dinky \<%= render :partial =\>
%\> in there…

Just use something like …
render (:inline =\> %{
## Hello Ruby
})

Have you tried using
render :partial =\> “somepartial”
in your action? I think that’ll do it.
