How do I hit a link without rendering the page?
I was wondering if it is possible to hit an external link without rendering that page, instead staying on the page or re-rendering the current screen. Essentially the link I'd like to hit provides me an action, but I do not want the user to view that page.

using :remote => true should work and you can respond with js to show some message saying the action has been done successfully.
