hi,

```
I am try a ajax helper and the code is

```

\<%= link\_to\_remote “Check Time”,  
:update =\> ‘current\_time’,  
:url =\> { :action =\> ‘ncreate’ } %\>

and in the action of ncreate i have written a textbox, i can get the  
text box but all that i need is when ever i click i need a new text  
box in the page. After first click text box1, after second click text  
box 2 something like this.

If you user :update with a remote action then the contents of  
current\_time  
will be updated each time you call this action.  
If you want a new text box to appear , then remove the :update option  
and  
create a ncreate.rjs file like this.

page.insert\_html :bottom, “current\_time”, “\<input type=‘text’ … /\>”
