Yup. That makes sense. So what you want to do is not call
Event.observe on page load but, after the Ajax call has been completed
and the html inserted.
You may not be able to use the updater method, since you need to
coordinate the call.
Instead, use Ajax.Request and manually update the subnav with the $
('container').update(html) method. After that, THEN call
Event.Observe.
