On click, open new text box in Ruby on Rails

Rails

Hello,

I have a BlogPost resources, where in BlogPost ‘show’ screen, I want a
“new comment” button to be displayed and only on clicking that button I
want the new Comment view to be rendered into the same page. I would
like to use ajax concept to do this. How do I do this?

NOTE: I have BlogPost and Comment as seperate resources(plural)
Resources I’ve defined in my routes looks like this:

map.resources :blog_posts, :has_many => :comments

Hi,

You can use JS for doing this easy instead of Ajax.

Thanks for the suggestion. But what’s ‘<text_box>’? did you mean to
input ruby code to display a button there?

Besides is there a way to include javascript inside ‘link_to’ or
‘link_to_remote’ tag?
