Thanks Marnen. Right now I need helping understanding the end to end flow in Rails. I could use help with the following example.. Lets take Facebook. When you're on Facebook.com, and click MESSAGES, the URL changes to (facebook.com/?sk=messages) and then AJAX is used to download the HTML/ JS content which is injected with JavaScript into the content pannel... No browser refresh which is what I'm after. My specific questions are: 1. For the content that is download via AJAX, is that content coming from a rails partial?... like (app>views>messages>_messagestable.html.erb 2. Where should the JavaScript reside that knows to fetch the messages content and then inject the content into the content panel? (is that the application.js? 3. Once the messages content (_messagestable.html.erb) is injected into the content panel, it will require new JavaScript functions specific to that content... Where should that live?
