respond_with javascript

My ajax stopped working when I switched to using respond_with. For my Votes, I have the create action and the corresponding create.js.erb, and respond_to :html, :js, :xml in the controller. Heres the log when I try and create a vote:

Started POST "/stories/3-asdfasdf1111/votes" for 127.0.0.1 at Fri Jan 14 20:46:36 -0800 2011   Processing by VotesController#create as */*   Parameters: {"story_id"=>"3-asdfasdf1111"}   SQL (1.9ms) SHOW TABLES   SQL (2.0ms) SHOW TABLES   SQL (2.5ms) SHOW TABLES   User Load (2.4ms) SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1   CACHE (0.0ms) SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1   Story Load (2.4ms) SELECT `stories`.* FROM `stories` WHERE (`stories`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1   SQL (0.4ms) BEGIN   Vote Load (0.7ms) SELECT `votes`.`id` FROM `votes` WHERE (`votes`.`user_id` = 3) AND (`votes`.`story_id` = 3) LIMIT 1   SQL (1.4ms) ROLLBACK Completed in 1466ms

Rendered /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.3/lib/ action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/missing_template.erb within rescues/layout (1.0ms)

The votes controller only has the create option:

  def create     @story = Story.find(params[:story_id])     @vote = @story.votes.create(:user => current_user)

    if @vote.errors.empty? && @vote.valid?       flash[:notice] = 'Successfully voted!'     else       flash[:error] = 'You already voted for that story!'     end

    respond_with @vote   end

I forgot to mention that I'm using jQuery. I tried ajax using prototype in a test app and it worked, but when I use jQuery it doesn't work. However, when using jQuery it will work if I use rjs but I really don't want to do that. It seems to me that when I'm using jQuery, it doesn't recognize the .js.erb files. As far as I know, I'm using the most recent version of jQuery and the most recent version of the rails driver for it.

Good. Your JavaScript should be static. .js.erb is a bad habit.

Best,
