Ajax render_partial

Hi,

i was hoping someone could reffer me to a doc or an explination (i
haven’t found anything) for rendering a partial via an ajax request - -

i know i could probably do it via

link_to :action => x

and then

def x
render_partial ‘y’
end

but i was hoping ther was something simpler, and more rails-like caller
such as

render_ajaxed_partial ‘y’

or something simpler.

is there?
thanks in advance,

shai

((ignore this one, sorry))
