I’ve seen a couple of commits lately re: RJS templates. Where can I find more info on what these are? Google came up empty ☹ > > Make rjs templates always implicitly skip out on layouts. Thanks! ---

Until then, read the rdoc and source! ## marcel Marcel Molina Jr. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

First of all, wow! Second, I got a small demo running using Rick’s example .rjs file and the rdocs, but I have a quick question. The docs say ‘When an .rjs action is called with +link\_to\_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated.’ However, I wasn’t able to get the scripts to run in the browser without adding :complete =\> ‘eval(request.responseText)’ to my link\_to\_remote call, as Rick does in his view: [http://techno-weenie.net/svn/projects/rails\_help/app/views/questions/show.rhtml](http://techno-weenie.net/svn/projects/rails_help/app/views/questions/show.rhtml) Is this the correct behaviour? Thanks, Cody ---

If you are running on edge rails just do svn up rake update\_javascripts ## marcel Marcel Molina Jr. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

What about RCSS templates? 🙂 I have dynamic stylesheets going on at the moment, and have noticed that Basecamp even has this going on in the background. Would be cool to see, in addition to the new JS type to the template schema. Warmest regards, Nathan. * * * Nathaniel S. H.
