Hey all,  
I’ve done some searching online and looking through the Agile book but  
can’t seem to find how one can put multiple effects in a single rails  
callback…

As an example:

form\_remote\_tag(:update =\> something\_element,  
:url =\> { :action =\> some\_action }  
:loading =\> do something  
:complete =\> “new Effect…” AND “new Effect”  
)

How would I accomplish adding two effects for the :complete callback?  
(sorry if this is a n00b question)

Thanks,  
Russ

Checkout RJS. I have a list of sources that should be helpful at the  
bottom of

Thanks for the reply Matthew. I am indeed familiar with RJS…I was just  
hoping there was a more “convenient” way of doing it directly in the  
input field.

You can always just put multiple statements in there:
