The key is to understand what you''re trying to do in the context of the
Rails request/response cycle. It''s also somewhat important to
understand
that a Rails app ''lives'' for exactly *one* request/response
cycle. Rails
treats*every* request as though it was the first it''s heard of
anything. In
this case, the browser has sent a request to the server that tells the
server, via the message type, that it expects an executable response. The
server, on the other hand, will send back whatever your application tells it
to send back. If you tell your app to send back html instead of js, it
will. And the browser will ''execute'' the html which will
result in exactly
what you''re seeing: nothing.

I recommend you download and begin using Firebug. Then you''ll be able
to
see exactly what''s being requested and rendered. You are using
Firefox,
aren''t you?

To get a good start, I recommend Cody Fauser''s RJS tutorial on
O''Reilly.
Excellent material at a ''duh'' price.

HTH,

PS. If you decide you want more than a hint, feel free to ask ;-)
It''s a
very helpful list.
