Hello
I have a js view, say, things/index.js.erb that looks like this:
$('my-stuff').update("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'shared/thing', :collection => @things) %>"); Effect.toggle('my-stuff', 'slide');
The idea is that the div with id 'my-stuff' will slide down and show the collection when a certain link is clicked, and it'll slide up if clicked again. The problem is that on the second click, the file is parsed again by erb, which results in a query being made to the database to fetch the @things collection. This is unnecessry because the content is already displayed and is now being hidden from the user.
Is there any way to detect that situation and avoid that extra query?
Thanks, Andre
