javascript requests not being routed properly

I have a file in views/admin/contents/new.js that I would like to be returned on a request from a script tag ex:   <script src="http://localhost:3000/admin/pages/1/contents/new.js&quot; type="text/javascript"></script>

If I test out the js request manually, ie entering the js url in the browser, I get the error shown below:

Missing layout layouts/admin.js.erb in view path /Users/chris/Documents/Projects/Rails/test_proj/app/views

It is **Missing layout layouts/admin.js.erb** that I don't understand. Why is this being routed in this way? It should be admin/views/contents/new.js.

Thanks for the help.

I should add that I have no problem obtaining the js files if they are not nested in a route, ie.

map.namespace do |admin|   admin.resources :content_files end

allows me to fetch the new js template file from views/admin/content_files/new.js.erb

Has anyone else had this problem?
