Unable to store json response in a variable. Ruby on Rails

link_to causes the json response to be downloaded to my machine which I dont want. I want to be able to store the response in a variable. How can this be done?

If you're not using link_to with the :remote option set to true you may just be linking to a bit of JavaScript, not actually retrieving it with AJAX.
