Rails:respond_to javascript

This is my view: (show.html.erb)

 <%=link_to vote_for, vote_for_question_path(@question), :remote => true%>

This is the action that the link calls in the question_controller:

def vote_for
        @quest_vote_for = Question.find(params[:id])
        current_user.vote_exclusively_for(@quest_vote_for)

       @total_vote = current_user.total_votes
        respond_to do |format|
        format.js{}
        format.html
        end
    end

What I want, is to update the content of the show.html.erb after the link is clicked. (I am using ajax (remote=>true)). The show.html.page should update itself with the new value of @total_vote.

How can I do this?

Add vote_for.js.erb, then add the following content to your file:

$("body").prepend("<h1><%= @total_vote %></h1>")
