For example:

a.rjs  
page.insert\_html :bottom, :criteriaDiv, :partial =\> ‘criteria\_item’

b.rjs  
page.replace :keywordSearchLink, :partial =\>  
‘criteria\_item\_add\_link’, :locals =\> { :form\_name =\>  
‘keywordFieldset’}  
page.replace :propertySearchLink, :partial =\>  
‘criteria\_item\_add\_link’, :locals =\> { :form\_name =\>  
‘propertyFieldset’}  
page.replace :compositionSearchLink, :partial =\>  
‘criteria\_item\_add\_link’, :locals =\> { :form\_name =\>  
‘compositionFieldset’}  
page.insert\_html :bottom, :criteriaDiv, :partial =\> ‘criteria\_item’

As we can see, each of the rjs inserts the same content to the same  
part of the page. I can put the content to be inserted in a partial  
template, but putting the two “page.insert\_html” in one place should  
be better. How can I do this? Thanks a lot.
