I have Results Controller. It has an index action with a corresponding
index view.
In the view their is a search form which is sent to a search action in
the same controller. I wanted to seperate this from the index action
because its pretty heavy and involves backgroundrb, scraping etc.
Once the results are scraped in the search action I want to go back to
the index view and add them there.
whats best practice. So far i can see 2 ways to do this.
i can either manipulate the index view within the search action somehow
or
i can somehow pass teh results to the index controller and let it do
ajax updates on its own view.
How do i go about this? If i page.redirect_to :url => “index” - it will
reload the index page all over again and I dont want that.
(im fairly new to ajax / rails so perhaps overlooking something )
