Answer 2

to see how to do this yourself, have a look at

http://railscasts.com/episodes/174-pagination-with-ajax

to see how to use will_paginate with ajax (jquery). Ryan shows how to modify the usual will_paginate approach. First how to modify the links of the pagination bar and then he shows how to modify the view to display newly loaded objects... In this video he replaces shown items by newly loaded items. You'd just have to tweak the index.js.erb to append them.

nevertheless ... you might also want to checkout his video

in which he shows what you asked for but without will_pagination
