Sure is. After the request has created the record and has the new id, send that
id back to the client in your response. I use JSON for this kind of thing and
put it in an X-JSON HTTP header which prototype will automatically convert into
a JS object for you. Something like this:
# response header
X-JSON: { 'success': 1, 'id': 254 }
# JS code
new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
onComplete: function(response, json) {
$('my_form_input').value = json.id;
}
}
);
Of course, if JSON doesn't float your boat and you want something slower, you
can use XML as well.
