Hi,

I’m a relative newbie to RoR and had a question about using  
form\_remote\_tag.  
I hope I’m posting this to the right list

I am using form\_remote\_tag to update a section of a page using AJAX once  
a  
form is submitted. I am specifying which part of a page i want to  
respond to  
the submission of my form by using the :update=\> “area” parameter.

Now I have realised I need to update 2 areas of the page. One part in  
the  
centre of the page and another part in a sidebar, in response to the  
completion of the form. How do I do this using the above function???

Many Thanks  
Chris
