I created clean new app to test and poke around. I got to work, but I 
wonder if there is still a better way to handle it and someone could 
point it our.
So i have two models:
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :task
end

class Widget < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :project
    validates_presence_of :project
    validates_associated :project
end
 widget/new view
<h1>New widget</h1>
<% form_for(@widget) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <%= text_field_tag :wids %>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :name %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :wid %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :wid %>
  </p>
  <p>
  <div id='disp'></div>
  <%= observe_field 'wids' ,:url => { :action => :find_project },
      :frequency => 0.25,
      :update => :disp,
      :with => 'wids'
      %>
    <%= f.submit 'Create' %>
  </p>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', widgets_path %>

widget controller
def find_project
  @project = Project.find(params[:wids])
  render :partial => 'find_project'
end
_find_project view
<p>
  <b>Name:</b>
  <%=h @project.name %>
</p>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'widget[project_id]',@project.id %>

The piece that doesn't sit well with me is the immediate line above as 
its not dynamic. Meaning if I wanted to reuse find_project method in 
ajax call from other controller than widgets then I havd hard code 
hidden_field_tag name for that controller as well.

Is there a better way to handle this situation?
