is this correct? my page after the action calls…shows html in my  
browser…

details/detail\_view.rhtml

 \<%= error\_messages\_for 'post' %\>

\<%= form\_remote\_tag :url =\> { :action =\> ‘checkcaptcha’ }, :html =\> {  
:id =\> ‘post\_form’ } %\>  
\<%= show\_simple\_captcha(:image\_style =\> ‘simply\_blue’,  
:label =\> ‘To view contact information, type the content and submit’)  
%\>  
\<%= hidden\_field ‘content’, ‘recid’, :value =\> @viewObj.id %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag “Submit”%\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

controller  
if simple\_captcha\_valid?  
…stuff  
end

render “details/checkcaptcha”, :layout =\> “layouts/article”

details/checkcaptcha.rjs  
logger.debug “success here!”  
page.visual\_effect :fade, ‘post\_form’, :duration =\> 0.5  
page.hide ‘captcha\_error’  
page.replace\_html ‘captcha\_error’, ‘Post Created’  
page.visual\_effect :appear, ‘captcha\_error’, :duration =\> 0.5  
page.form.reset ‘post\_form’

…

i think my problem may have something to do with the location of my  
files? i think my rails app expects my .rjs and details page to be both  
in the controller folder. but i currently have my details rhtml in a  
details folder outside the controller view folder. is this bad?

thanks for any help!
