You could probably use `button_tag` but you'll still need to write the actual AJAX JavaScript code yourself for it. It's pretty straight-forward in jQuery, attaching a callback to the click event on the button, and the callback function does the AJAX request. On the server side, if you really wish to render nothing at all, `render nothing: true` will do that.
