Yes, link_to_remote will call some action in your controller. That action can generate javascript to update portion of your page. That controller can have an some-action.rjs template (instead of the usual some-action.html.erb) That template could look something like this:
page.replace_html 'id-of-some-element-on-your-page', :partial => 'partial you want to render there' You could also render it directly in your controller if you prefer. Check out the following documentation: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/JavaScriptGenerator/GeneratorMethods.html#M001666 There are plenty of examples there. I might also recommend the peepcode screencast covering rjs. It walks through several simple examples.
