Yea, good point James. The redirect could range from ugly:
render :update do |page|
page << "window.location = #{some_url}"
end
To really ugly (if this even works):
<% form_remote_tag
:url => {:action => 'submit_review', :id => @product},
302 => "document.location = request.getResponseHeader('location')" %>
Better off just doing all the logic in one action and rendering an rjs (or
js.erb) template.
