Hello, I have the following Ajax call which invoke the action "check_skills"

    new Ajax.Request('/persons/check_skills'         { method:'post',       asynchronous: false,       evalScripts:false,       onSuccess: function(transport){         var response = transport.responseText || "no response text";         alert("Success! \n\n" + response); },         onFailure: function(){           alert('Something went wrong...')           }         });

The action did get called but the above code always go to "onFailure" part, doesn't anyone konw how the action "check_skills" can return some value back to the Ajax.request call?

Thanks in advance.
