Rails spinoffs - Jun 2007 - Prototype 151; Ajax.Updater vs Ajax.Request and evalScripts=true

Why does Ajax.Updater() and Ajax.Request() differ in how evalScripts
is handled? Or doesn''t it, and I just got it wrong?

I have a module that generates an Ajax request to insert dynamic
content into a div. The dynamic content is plain vanilla HTML with
some inline javascript *functions*

I cannot get the browser to honor/execute/see those javascript
functions when I use .Request()

If I use .Updater(), however, it works fine (provided I''ve enabled
evalScripts)

Is there a reference somewhere that explains why?

Hey,

Perhaps because, as the docs state clearly, evalScripts is NOT an A.R 
option?  It is introduced in A.U.

Indeed.  That''s nominal.  Also, since you''re trying to inject
a response
in the DOM, there''s no reason why you should use A.R instead of A.U, 
which is specifically targeted at that job.

The official site does so aplenty, both in the API docs and the tutorials:
