question regarding link_to vs link_to_remote

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can answer my question. With the Rails 2 link_to_remote tag, I could have two separate links, pointing to the same controller/action, updating two different destinations(divs). But now that the javascript has been extracted to a .js.erb file associated with the controller/action, how can I pass it a destination div? Should I pass the destination div as a URL parameter for extraction by the controller, or is there a preferred way of doing it?

Thanks,

Stan
