One quick question: How can I see the javascript code generated by my  
rjs template?

That’s a Rails question, not Ruby, so put questions like it here:

news://news.gmane.org:119/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails

(And don’t dupe questions until you are out of options!)

View the code with a functional test:

xhr :get, :xhr\_action  
puts @response.body

View it in a browser with Firebug, and view it in tests with  
assert\_rjs\_. Note  
the trailing underbar:
