Not sure if this is what you’re asking, but you can do the following:

new Ajax.Request(‘some\_url’, …)

(Check out [prototypejs.org](http://prototypejs.org) for details). That will issue a request to  
the url as an ajax request… which will ask for an ‘rjs’ response.  
Better still, if you don’t need to embed the call in other javascript  
then you can do this:

remote\_function(:url=\>‘some\_url’, :submit=\>‘form\_id’, etc.)
