render :update returns js wrapped in a HTML body

Hi.

From what I'm learned the below is suppose to return "alert('Im JS');"
to the javascriptGenerator that's suppose to make the page scream 'Im
JS'...(?)


1. render :update do |page|
2. page.call :alert, "Im JS"
3. end

In Rails 1.2.3 it works perfectly.

BUT in Rails 2.0.2 it returns the js neatly wrapped in a full HTML-body,
and the browser shows me nada... (!)

Please help me here, I've tried everything I can think of for hours now!

Random things I've tryed (not in any order, and just glimpses)
use the page/hi.js.rjs approach


1. :text => "alert('Im JS');", :content_type => "text/javascript"

1. respond_to do |format|
2. format.js
3. end

1. headers["Content-Type"] = "text/javascript; charset=utf-8

1. render :update, :layout => false, :content_type => "text/javascript" do
2. |page|
3. page.call :alert, "Im JS"
4. end

Thank you all in advance!

I don't know about Rails 2.0.2, but in Rails 1.2.3

render :update do |page|
  page << "alert('Im JS')"
end

writes the raw JavaScript to the page.
