Ajax response strip script tag from response

An newbie question. I have a "script" tag included in the response of an ajax call (from a link_to_remote) But this script tag is in the response(seen in firebug) but not on the webpage. It is stripped by something.

I don;t know jquery, but prototype by default strips script tags from responses. You might want to poke around the jquery api and see if they do anything similar.

Thank you Frederick,

That means I can't have an other ajax call within an ajax response. Its odd. In my case I have 'tabs' and the action of these tabs are in ajax, within these tabs I have an auto complete field. How can I make this work?

Thank you

With prototype it's just the default. You don't have to have it that
way (don't know about jQuery)

Well a lot of folks shy away from script tags altogether these days,
and just attach event handlers to stuff (eg from the callbacks of the
thing that caused the partial to be inserted that way). I got the
impression jQuery in particular leant quite heavily that way.
