How to create a ajax callback function in rails

Question

I'm new to Rails and ajaxification on Rails: I'm facing a problem in writing an ajax callback function. For example, if i am writing a callback function for a delete method and write a callback code for ajax in applicaton.js, it works fine when i have written format.js to this method as

format.js { render :nothing => true }

But what i want is both: this format.js works and also the callback function should work. How to do this?

Do you want to return any values from the controller side to the callback function? — suren, Mar 15 '13 at 05:40
for some methods i may require to return values from controller — User16119012, Mar 15 '13 at 06:01

Can you simply try

format.js { render :json => {} }

instead of

format.js { render :nothing => true }

so that your callback function will be called.

will this render both(for eg delete.js) and a callback function written in application.js – User16119012 Mar 15 '13 at 06:00
What do you mean by rendering delete.js? – suren Mar 15 '13 at 06:08
Mean if i'm calling a delete method and in response i'm writting a delete.js for that action. So what i want is both delete.js method should execute as well as callback function – User16119012 Mar 15 '13 at 08:01
