Question

Here’s what I have:

<%= link_to "Reload Div", {:controller => "my_controller", :action => "my_action"}, remote => true %>

I want to be able to click the link and have a div reload with different content generated by Ruby on Rails. How can I do this?

For simplicity… I simply want to be able to click the link and reload the div with a number one higher than the previous.

If you’re using jQuery, this might be easier with UJS than by hacking something together yourself. Maybe something that does this:

$('a.reload').click(function() { $(this.parentNode).load(this.href); return false; });
