Can we add "append to destination html" support for Link_to

[Gianna Giavelli]

Currently:

Example 2: Ajax link, sets data to destination element

<@link_to controller="books" action="fetch" destination="result">Get Books</@>

So if I have 

    <div id="result">stuff</div>

I would get

    <div id="result">result</div>

I would like to instead APPEND the result to the content of the div. My suggestion is to use a flag "appendtodestination" for example:

<@link_to controller="books" action="fetch" destination="result" appendtodestination="true">Get Books</@>
    results in:
         <div id="result">stuff result</div>

This makes many operations much simpler. So while this is a feature request is there an easy way without doing my own jquery code to do this now?

Hi, Gianna, this should be easy. Since the aw.js script is part of your project, you can use this: http://api.jquery.com/appendto/

to do what you need.
