Failing to render RJS

My code looks like the following, but for some reason the rjs template (index.js.erb) is not being rendered. I've also tried naming the rjs file index.js.rjs with no luck.

home_controller.rb:

def index   respond_to do |format|     format.js     format.html   end end

index.js.erb:

page << "var data = 'Core Selectors,Attributes,Traversing,Manipulation'.split(',');" page << "$('#example').autocomplete(data);"

How does rails decide when to render an rjs file in addition to an html file?

What does the thing making the request look like ?(index.js.erb will
never work, since it will just try and pass that file through erb even
though that file isn't an erb template at all)

You need to rename it to index.js.rjs. Check in firebug then if you get response.
