I have had some trouble finding a solution to this. Basically, I have an embedded ruby each loop whose body is a partial being rendered for a certain sub group of a model. For instance:\[code\]<li id="thing"> <% items.each do |i| %> <%= render 
artial => 'item', :locals => {:i => i} %> <% end %></li>\[/code\]I was wondering if there was a way with jQuery, AJAX, or even just rails (I'm sure that each one has a implementable solution for me, and I'm interested in all of them) to refresh that list of items. The reason I would want to be able to do this is, currently, I have implemented the functionality to allow a now 'item' to be created or an existing 'item' be updated, again, without having to reload the page (the form comes up in a certain container on a button click in both cases), and I would like upon submission for the list to automatically be updated with the new information or new 'item.' Would it be a better approach to try and refresh the entire list? Or is there a way to append the newly created/updated object to the list of partials (as a partial) clientside?
