Funky RJS error - Live Search

Everything works like I want it to, except I get this weird error text
that is inserted into the page (but not the html). Here is my
controller:

def search
if request.xhr?
if params[:search_text].strip.length > 0
terms = params[:search_text]
@results = User.find(
:all,
:conditions => [ ‘LOWER(first_name) LIKE ? OR
LOWER(last_name) LIKE ?’,
“%#{terms.downcase}%”, “%#{terms.downcase}%” ],
:limit => 10)
render :update do |page|
page[:results].replace_html :partial => “search”
page[:recent].hide
end
elsif params[:search_text].strip.length == 0
render :update do |page|
page[:recent].show
end
end
else
redirect_to users_path
end
end

Here is the error:
try { $(“recent”).show(); } catch (e) { alert(‘RJS error:\n\n’ +
e.toString()); alert(’$(“recent”).show();’); throw e }

I’m guessing I’m screwing up the rjs code. When the live search input
field is in use, I want to hide the ‘recent’ div. When it is Not in
use, I want to show the ‘recent’ div. The error text ends up above the
‘recent’ div. Am I doing this the wrong way?
