[Rails] .rjs template doesn't load?

[Tom Wilcoxen]

Josh,

I have a similar requirement, but addressed it a little differently. I
don't know which is better. I set an instance variable in my
controller called @error and fill it with a message if the action
fails. Then in my .rjs I do:

if @error
  page.show 'ajax-error'
  page.replace_html 'ajax-error', @error
else
  page.hide 'ajax-error'
  page.replace_html 'my-div-name', :partial => 'mypartial'
  page.visual_effect :highlight, 'my-div-name', :duration => 1.5
end
