Hi,

I am using rjs to update a page and send a preview code for a widget.  
However that code isn’t executed by the browsers.

The returned script looks like:

After a refresh this code is executed corectly, but when I send it  
from RJS it isn’t run. I don’t see any requests back to rails.

Mostly likely I am missing something, but can’t figure out what.
