Include jquery-rails and do it like you normally would.

Ajax is the default functionality from rail no need of extra packages, ensure following things you have included 1)ensure rails.js in public/javascripts files if, you are using < 3.0. if, you are using >3.0 then auto metically it will includes in application.js(manifest file) 2) use :remote=> true in the link_for or form tags ex:- <%=link_to 'Remote Link', home_path,:remote=>true%>
