right now I am using an an helper action like that

def document\_pagination\_links\_remote(paginator)  
page\_options = {:window\_size =\> 1}  
pagination\_links\_each(paginator, page\_options) do |n|  
options = {  
:url =\> franchise\_documents\_url(:params =\> params.merge({:page  
=\> n})),  
:method =\> :get,  
:update =\> ‘table\_document’  
}  
html\_options = {:href =\> franchise\_documents\_path(:params =\>  
params.merge({:page =\> n}), :method =\> :get)}  
link\_to\_remote(n.to\_s, options, html\_options)  
end  
end

I need to rewrite the url, according to a string as a parameter  
‘container’ container = “franchise” or “whatever”

def document\_pagination\_links\_remote(paginator, container)  
… depending upon container string  
:url =\> franchise\_documents\_url(:params =\> params.merge({:page =\>  
n})),  
:url =\> whatever\_documents\_url(:params =\> params.merge({:page =\> n})),

how should I write it ?

thanks for your help
