Hello,

after executing an action, I add an

- element to an existing list  
using a RJS template:

page.insert\_html :bottom, :contributors, “#{@contributor.user.name}

”

but I need to add an image with a link\_to\_remote as I have in a  
partial page:

```
  <li id="contributor.<%= contributor.id %>">
      <%= link_to_remote image_tag('delete.png', :size =>

```

‘16x16’, :alt =\> ‘Destroy’),  
:url =\> {:action =\>  
“delete\_contributor”, :id =\> @project,  
:contributor\_id =\>  
contributor.id},  
:method =\> :put %\>  
\<%= contributor.user.name %\>

How could I do this with RJS?, is it possible?

Try using a partial

page.insert\_html :bottom, :contributors, :partial =\> ‘partial\_name’

As far as I know it can be done either way, but I second the partial  
idea. It’ll keep the rjs file a lot cleaner, and be much easier to  
maintain.
