</div>

all is in the title :). I’ve got an rjs file calling  
“page.ajax\_flash\_alert”.  
This method is defined in Application helper in which i do this :  
if flash.size \> 0  
flash.each do |key, msg|  
page.insert\_html(:bottom, :alert, content\_tag(:div, msg, :class =\>  
key))  
end  
end

But the flash content is lost.  
When i put the code directly in the rjs file it works.

Someone can help?
