If you are using rails 2 you may want to check examples for 'observe_field' and 'observe_form' helpers; they'll use ajax to update your page without reloading it. If you are using rails 3 you'll have to find their new counterparts, as these 2 are deprecated. Unfortunately I can't give more info about this since I'm slightly outdated with R3.
