You're right, that's pretty close to exactly what I need. I'm using 1.3
(long story) so I went back to the source recipe:
http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/tutorials/33-ajax-filtering-on-a-partially-completed.
This seems to be *most* of the way to what I need. Thanks!

I'm running into a problem with the controller actions, though. This winds
up being run in the context of a polymorphic_actions_for setup (:page, in
our case - the name collision with the Page model is actually why we
haven't updated to 2.0 yet). When I add this action to the controller:

  def new
    hobo_create(AnimationPane.create(params[:animation_pane])) do
      hobo_ajax_response if request.xhr?
    end
  end

...the AnimationPanes created don't have the association with the parent
Page. My intuition is that I actually need to be editing new_for_page (?)
but I don't actually understand the built-in controller actions well enough
to know how that changes the code inside the action. (I also feel like the
resistance I'm feeling in trying to do this is a clue that there's an
easier way to do it.)
