RJS show as 'try...' in AJAX update

Rails
1

Hi guys,

I am trying to display Javascript code after an Ajax call. It is
executing the JS code, but it’s also displaying it. It shows as:

try {
alert(…);
} catch …
…

my controller code:

render :update do |page|
page.alert message_var
end

my Javascript code:
new Ajax.Updater(“div_id”, my_controller_url,
{ asynchronous: true,
evalScripts: true,
method: ‘get’,
parameters: query_string
}
);

In the prototype documentation, it says AJax.Updater’s evalScripts will
eval anything in tags, and they will not be displayed. Is there
anyway to wrap RJS output’s in tags?

Or another way of solving this?

Much thanks
Xin

Don’t use Ajax.Updater with render :update (just plain old
Ajax.Request will do fine)
