rjs

I want to display a modal window with an error message, when the user has entered something invalid in a form, but render another action if everything is ok. However, when I try to display the modal window with

 render :js => "jQuery.facebox(#{...})"

only the actual javascript called is displayed:

try {
jQuery.facebox(...)
} catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString()); alert('jQuery.facebox(\"<div class=\'error\'>Error</div>\")'); throw e 
}
