How about each tab Ajax-linking (link_to <...>, :remote => true) to documents, participants, comments controllers' respective index actions, which render render inline content via Ajax call to a dedicated space (under "tabs") and doing all the other stuff of marking the correct tab "active"?
For example "Documents tab" (not tested, basically a concept): link_to "Documents", contact_documents_path(@contact), :remote => true then you'd have documents#index action and documents/index.js.haml template that'd populate #tab_content div which is just under your general Contact information, as you described; the entry point would be contacts#show action; you'd assign @contact there. And you nest the resources something like: resources :contacts do resources :documents resources :participants resources: comments end Just brainstorming, feel free to disregard ;) 2013/3/28 BalaRaju Vankala <[email protected]> > I think no need to use any gem.
