respond_to not detecting RJS

Hi there. First of all, I'm not using REST.

class HomeController < ApplicationController   layout 'layout'

  def index     #some code     ivr_info #NOTICE THIS   end

  def ivr_info     # some code   end end

This is views/home: _ivr_info.html.erb index.html.erb ivr_info.js.rjs

I'm making an AJAX request to /home/ivr_info <%= link_to_remote "Update", :url => {:controller => 'home', :action => 'ivr_info'} %>

And the RJS is, well, ignored. I tried this:

class HomeController < ApplicationController   layout 'layout'

  def index     #some code     ivr_info #NOTICE THIS

    respond_to do |format       format.html     end   end

  def ivr_info     # some code     respond_to do |format       format.js     end   end end

Well, i've got this errror:

Template is missing Missing layout layouts/layout.js.erb in view path D:/netbeans/rhymon/ app/views

Even with layout 'layout', :only => 'index' , i've got the same error. With is this happening? I've been recently introduced to respond_to (with REST, but i'm not using REST in this application), and google wasn't any help for me.

It's not a good idea to call from one action to another unless you are definitely not going to be rendering in one of them. Put the common code in a separate private method and call it from each action. Then, try:

def ivr_info   # some code   respond_to do |format|     format.js { render :layout => false }   end end
