REPLACE content in a div on prototype observe_field update?

I'm trying to implement a select/option filter to display a
list on a
page.  I'm using observe_field to execute a controller
action
(update_job_list), which then calls render
:partial=>"job_listings" in
the div to be updated.

The problem is that the list of jobs generated by the
partial inserts
above, below, top, or bottom depending on the :position
option.  But I
would like to REPLACE the part of the page (div) being
updated, not
insert the new list in addition to the existing content in
the div.
Any idea how to replace the content?

Thanks.

Going out on a limb here and assuming that you're using
rjs?

Use .replace_html('element_id', rendering_options) rather
than .insert_html(:positoin, 'element_id',
rendering_options)

I'm using pototype, but looks like rjs has a possible
solution.
Thanks.

rjs is built on scriptaculous/prototype so it's all one and
the same.

Try $('your_div').replace(new_html);

Or

new Ajax.Updater('your_div',
'url_to_action_rendering_the_partial');
