Try using the long-hand, not the shortcut of using respond js at the top. The long-hand is what the shortcut becomes eventually, so it's clearer why it works that way. Yes, you will have to put a separate format.js in each method, but when you do that, you can see exactly what it is doing, and make each method respond the way you want it to.
