Render a whole HTML page after an Ajax request: possible?

Hi there,

Suppose: 'action A' was launched by an Ajax request

Question: Is it possible to - somehow render a whole HTML page (not only return a part of the page), or - redirect (within 'action A') to an 'action B' (which then could render a whole HTML page)

Thanks a lot! Tom

render :update do |page|   page.redirect_to :action => 'name' end

And I'd been starting to think I had to call McGyver...

Great! Thanks, Sijo!

You can return an entire HTML page via ajax (Just the contents of the <body> tags) and just replace that.

If you're going to redirect, don't bother with the Ajax
