Rails - Jul 2008 - Re: jQuery.post gets some code but the code isn't evaluated

> jQuery.post("/plans/<%= @plan.id
%>/add_learning_objective?name=" +
> objective_name)
You need to specify the type option as "script" to have it executed.
(See the docs for jQuery.ajax(), where it is the dataType option. The
"type" option in $.post is passed to $.ajax as the dataType option)

Thanks Rein, that was exactly it: using .ajax instead of .post worked 
perfectly:

//doesn''t evaluate the response, ie doesn''t run the javascript
in my
.js.rjs file
jQuery.post("/plans/<%= @plan.id
%>/add_learning_objective?name=" +
objective_name);

//this works
jQuery.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: ("/plans/<%= @plan.id %>/add_learning_objective?name=" + 
objective_name),
  dataType: "script"
})

Thanks again
max
