What’s the question ? I don’t understand from what you’ve written the
difference between what you’re getting and what you’re expecting

Thanks, it works, the thing is that i did thing that the _index.js.erb
is for put all the javascript,but
now i see that i just to work for ajax things, i think it was a way to
organize javascrit code.

the line

format.js {render :nothing => true}

renders, well, nothing. so it gives a blank page. if you want the action
to
render
the corresponding template, remove the render function.
