Renderring a view of a different Controller is the same as rendering a view of the same controller. (Using AJAX helper).
[EMAIL PROTECTED], my first thought when I see your approach is: it violates MVC. However, upon further look I think it actually make sense since there is no use in duplicating view code, UsersController does what it knows best: controlling users. Thus, forcing MVC => retrieving user list from User model then display it is actually violating encapsulation in OOP. On Feb 13, 4:48 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I see.
