I also don't know of any good guides for this. You can see the relevant RailsCast for it: http://railscasts.com/episodes/205-unobtrusive-javascript where Ryan Bates discusses using the *.js.erb style of returning JS to the page to be executed.
I'd recommend reading through the rails adapter you're using. It will help to give you some idea of how it works. If using JQuery, you can hook into a series of triggered events throughout the AJAX call lifecycle. Here's an example to handle the response from a AJAX-y link: $('a[data-remote]').live('ajax:complete', function(xhr, response) { if (response.status == 200) { $('#resource-display').html(response.responseText); } else { $('#resource-display').html('Error loading content'); } }); Fundamentally, though, there *does* need to be better documentation about this. It's certainly one of those 'someone needs to do it' moments, and we can't really blame anyone else but ourselves!
