can anyone help or point me in the right direction?:

I have a number of asset\_types.

When I create a new asset (which belongs\_to an asset\_type), I want the  
form to be specific to an asset\_type (e.g. labels on the form will be  
different).

How is best to solve this?

1. either -\> when creating a new asset, have a select box for the user  
to select the asset\_type and then have the form auto-update (with ajax  
ideally).

2. or is it possible to have separate routes for each asset\_type (using  
separate controllers?)
