Rails - Jan 2006 - calling javascript via "eval(request.resopnseText") help needed.

I have a link_to_remote method:

<%= link_to_remote image_tag("clock_run.gif",
:border=>''0''),
								:update => @task.id,
								:complete=>"eval(request.responseText);",
								:url => {:controller => ''time_entries'',
										 :action => ''punch_in'',
										 :id => @task} %>

The  controller ultimately renders a partial:

render :partial => "partial/punch_out_link"

The partial renders fine, but I''m unable to call any of the javascript
methods inside the partial.  Shouldn''t I be able to with the set up I
have? Maybe a better way, would be to ask, would someone show me a
simple example of how I could execute a simple pop up such as: 
alert(''test'');

thanks!
