Rendering a partial for AJAX response

Rails
1

Hi all!
I want to have an action to process an AJAX request. Naturally, it is
good to render a partial as the response. The problem is, Rails
supposes all actions to end with render :action otherwise it
automatically renders the default action. How to cancel such behaviour
and make it happy with just rendering the partial and finishing?

This requires the view to call a wrapper that calls Ajax.Request, not
Ajax.Response, but that’s just my preference:

render :update => do |page|
page.replace_html ‘my_div’, :partial => ‘my_partial’
end

Ajax! The Guilty Pleasure of Rails!!
