Rails3 Jquery link_to

I know that I'm missing something very simple but I setup my application to use for the links a remote=> true call. In the call it finds the js.erb file, but doesn't render into the browser the content.

LOG:

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-06-28 14:26:22 -0700   Processing by HomeController#index as JS Rendered home/index.js.erb (0.3ms) Completed 200 OK in 12ms (Views: 11.6ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-06-28 14:26:25 -0700   Processing by HomeController#index as HTML Rendered home/index.html.erb within layouts/application (2.0ms) Completed 200 OK in 6ms (Views: 5.6ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

As you can see in the html.erb it says within the layouts/application But with the JS call it is missing - my template looks like this - <li><%= link_to 'index', :root, :remote=> true %></li> //This one doesn't render in the template

        <li><a href="/" >Home</a></li> // This one works

What am I doing wrong?

The jQuery data-remote tag looks like this -     $('a[data-remote],input[data-remote]').live('click', function (e) {         $(this).callRemote();         e.preventDefault();     });   $('a[data-method]:not([data-remote])').live('click', function (e){         var link = $(this),             href = link.attr('href'),             method = link.attr('data-method'),             form = $('<form method="post" action="'+href+'"></form>'),             metadata_input = '<input name="_method" value="'+method+'" type="hidden" />';

        if (csrf_param != null && csrf_token != null) {           metadata_input += '<input name="'+csrf_param+'" value="'+csrf_token+'" type="hidden" />';         }

        form.hide()             .append(metadata_input)             .appendTo('body');

        e.preventDefault();         form.submit();     });

Is it missing something?

Ok I think I'm 1/2 their - I got something to load on the rjs template- $("#content").html("fish"); Which renders html inside the content tag... But it just will render a plain tag for fish - not html code e.g. <h1> fish</h1>

But I think ideally it would render the same index.html.erb file so I wouldn't have to maintain code in 2 places. Any suggestions how to do that?

Ok I think I figured out a simple version - $('#content').load('/clients #index'); Right now I have it in my index.js.erb but I need to now figure out how to load it into my controller, so I can reduce files.
