Refreshing a div with preformated text

Hello,

Just would like to know how I can refresh a div with formatted text
( html code ) on user onclick action on menu items. I guess I could to
this with prototype but should I use the link_remote_tag ? In my case
there’s no need to a make a remote ajax call to whatever controller
action but only put pre-defined formatted text in a div.

Regards,

Joel

For the user onclick action you can use replace(). (or replace_html
depending on whether you want to keep your div or not.)

Something like:
<input type=“button” value=“Update” <%=
“onclick=$(div_id).replace(

Hello

);” %>>

Hope this helps,

Alan

Have a look at link_to_function–that will write client-side javascript
that doesn’t bother the server.
