So after a couple of days of trawling various forums, tutorials etc - I'm 
still no closer to doing what is seemingly something straightforward - 
namely, have links on a Navbar populate a named yield with the contents of 
a partial. I'm probably missing something fundamental, but hey! I've asked 
this before, but I don't think I worded the question too well, so hopefully 
this time I'll do better!

My view as it stands is as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

>                 <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">MARS Web UI</a>
>               </div>
>               <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
>                 <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

>                 </ul>
>               </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->

In the <<SNIP>> above, I have tried a couple of ideas. Firstly:

>
> <li><a href="<%= content_for :mainbody do; render 
> 'authentication/perforce'; end %>">P4</a></li>
> <li><a href="<%= content_for :mainbody do; render 
> 'authentication/p4_output'; end %>">P4 Output</a></li>



This simply rendered both "perforce" and "p4_output" partials one below the 
other, and clicking the navbar options had no effect.

So then I figured maybe something more like this was required:

>
> <li class="active"><%= link_to "Perforce", {:action => 'renderp4'}, 
> :remote => true %></li>
> <li class="active"><%= link_to "Perforce", {:action => 'renderp4_output'}, 
> :remote => true %></li>
>

But at this point I came to a grinding halt, not knowing how what would be 
needed in my "renderp4" and "renderp4_output" actions so as to return HTML 
to my mainbody yield - if it is even possible?!?

Hopefully what I am trying to achieve is obvious - while I appreciate and 
acknowledge I am probably rather wide of the mark with my solution 
currently, any guidance would be appreciated. As I say, I've hunted around, 
but just hit a brick wall!

Thanks :)
