But do you need them nested, or can they be on the same element?

Because the view shouldn't know anything about the nature of the
request. The view should only know what the controller tells it.

Because according to Rails MVC design principles, views should be as
dumb as possible. The request object is really none of the view's
business -- all the view should do is display the data the controller
passes it.
