Hi, I'm a jQuery total n00b. In my rails app this what happen:

I'm on the homepage, I click this link:

<a href='/betas/new' rel='facebox'>Sign up</a>

A beautiful facebox popup shows up and render this views and the containing form:

# /app/views/invites/new

<% form_tag({ :controller => 'registration_code', :action => 'create' }, :id => 'codeForm') do %>

    <%= text_field_tag :code %>
    <br />
    <%= submit_tag 'Confirm' %>
<% end %>

I clink on submit and if the code is valid the user is taken on another page in another controller:

def create
  # some stuff
  redirect_to :controller => 'users', :action => 'type'
end

Now I would like to render that page INSIDE the SAME popup contains the form, after the submit button is pressed but I have NO IDEA how to do it. I've tried FaceboxRender but this happens:

Original version:

# /controllers/users_controller
def type
end

If I change it like that nothing happens:

# /controllers/users_controller
def type
  respond_to do |format|
  format.html
  format.js { render_to_facebox }
 end
end

If I change it like that (I know is wrong but I'm a n00b so it's ok :-):

# /controllers/users_controller
def type
  respond_to do |format|
  format.html { render_to_facebox }
  format.js
 end
end

I got this rendered:

try {
jQuery.facebox("my raw HTML from users/type.html.erb substituted here")'); throw e }

Any solutions?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
