Does anyone know how to call an RJS template from a controller in one  
directory, where the RJS template lives somewhere else? For example my  
controller is /controllers/people\_controller.rb, and my template lives  
in /views/blah/create.rjs.

I tried render :file =\> but that doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks.
