Thanks for the reply. I know I'll need a call to the server to save the changes. I guess I meant do I need a call to the server to show/hide divs? Right now the only way I know how to do it is use link_to_remote for an AJAX action. That AJAX action does nothing but call a rjs template with page.show or page.hide.
It seems like if I'm just doing page.hide/show I should be able to do that without a call to the server? Lets ignore the 'editable' form part. In general how would I hide/ show a div on a button click for instance?
