Link_to_remote; how do I tweak the div to update?; Ajax on R

Ruby
1

I’m trying to update a specific div section by trying to add some
embedded ruby code below. It’s not liking it though. You see below
i’m trying to replace >>> :update => “msg_box>”, <<< with >>> :update
=> “msg_box_<%= item.id %>”, <<< but it’s bad syntax or something. How
can I do this?

Here’s my little Ruby on Rails webpage that uses Ajax:

<% for item in @my_items %>

Ajax Demo <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %>
<%= link_to_remote( "Item Details", ### normally its :update => "msg_box>", :update => "msg_box_<%= item.id %>", ### you see in the line above i'm trying to update the div with id "msg_box_1" for example... :url =>{ :action => :get_details }) %>
<% end %>

<<<<<

Thanks for reading.

However I will give you a hint. You can’t put a <%= inside another
<%=. Two of those things in a row makes the templating engine grumpy.
