Hi,

got a problem,  
I have a polymorphic object, “phone” that is created via remote  
(ajax),  
then refreshes the client\_phones div id,

But what if I need to call Phone.create from different models,  
and refresh e.g. the user\_phones div id

How do you handle rendering partials that need data generated from a  
controller different than the one calling the template?

Thanks,
