Rendering partial views with ajax calls in rails 3.1
ajax, erb, renderpartial, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3.1
Solution
$('#tabs-1').html("<%= j(render @host) %>");
$('#tabs-2').html("<%= j(render :partial => 'host2', :locals => { :host => @host }) %>");
Problem
I'm starting now with rails, and i have simply question i think. I need to render two partials in one ajax call: I have the following controller: ``` # GET /hosts/1 # GET /hosts/1.json def show @host = Host.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html #show.html format.js format.json { render :json => @host } end end ``` And the respective template (show.js.erb): ``` $('#tabs-1').html("<%= escape_javascript(render @host) %>"); ``` And a partial file named _host.html.erb All this works fine. The template "_host.html.erb" is rendered in div tabs-1, but now i need to add some other partial template in a different id (#tabs-2), but use the same @host How can i do this? by default the render @host method will use the template file "_host.html.erb". How can i call a different one like _host2.html.erb and have the same @host instance available? Thanks, Joao
