JS not recognized in link_to_remote respond_to?

In my view I have this test…

<%= link_to_remote(‘AJAX Alert’, :url => ‘/sandbox/submit’, :success
=> ‘alert(request.responseText)’) %>

In my controller, this works and alerts “AJAX Response”…

def submit
render :layout => false
end

But if I add the respond_to block, the format.js never gets
recognized…

def submit
respond_to do |format|
format.js {
render :layout => false
}
format.html {
# render normal layout
}
end
end
