I do not know what criteria you would use to understand if #parent is acceptable or not but you can pass as many other ids as you need:
DIV(A('click me',_href='#',_id='parent',_onclick("ajax('clickback', ['parent', '2nd', '3rd', ... 'nth'],':eval');"))) #controller def clickback(): for t in args: if kosher(t): target = t return 'jQuery("#" + target).html("%s");' %\ SCRIPT("alert('hello world');") 2010/12/24 weheh <richard_gor...@verizon.net>: > How would I do this? > #view > DIV(A('click me',_href='#',_id='parent',_onclick("ajax('clickback', > ['parent'],':eval');"))) > > #controller > def clickback(): > return 'jQuery("#parent").html("%s");' %\ > SCRIPT("alert('hello world');") > > So that when I click on "click me" it calls the clickback, which > inserts the alert on top of the same parent.
