Greetings all,

  I think many fellow rails developers are using jquery extensively now and some one may already solved my problem:

  rails' RJS facility has helper methods like "replace_html", they allowed you to render partials in the .rjs file and execute the javascript which updates the page, how can I do that using jquery? Thanks in advance!

now I know "render :partial" works in js.erb, but why not "render :action"? A "render :action => :new" gives "Rendered resources/_new" in the log, why? Thanks!
