Hi,

I’d like to use AJAX to reload a single div containing content  
delivered by a partial. In my rjs template I thus wrote:

page[:my\_div].reload

Can I tell Rails where to look for the content that it shall  
regenerate? Rails automatically seems to look for the partial  
“\_my\_div.erb” located in the same directory as the rjs template, but  
in my case the partial isn’t in the same directory.

Is there sth like a :partial =\> “/my\_folder/\_partial” option I can  
pass to the reload method?

Btw is there a good documentation about rjs templates anywhere on the  
web?

Best regards & thanks many times for your help!

Hi

page[:my\_div].reload is equivalent to

page[:my\_div].replace :partial =\> “my\_div”

So why can’t you use  
page[:my\_div].replace :partial =\> “/my\_folder/some\_partial”
