From the point of view of your rails app, this is just another request - you can render html/json/xml just as you would for any request. You may want to use respond_to or xhr? to adapt your response to the fact that it is an ajax request if your action is one that can be used by non ajax clients Fred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
