You have written a real tongue-twister here; two minor misunderstandings that
lead to the cycle() canceling itself out!

eRB cannot comprehend <!-- (because you could eRB any other language with its
own comments). Hence, the cycle() runs, and pushes one of those classes into a
comment! If you viewed the source, or wrote puts @response.body in your unit
test, you would see them.
That increment's cycle's ticker by one.

This is not Ajax. The code calculates this partial once, at page render time.
If
that partial calls cycle(), it will increment its tick again. That might cancel
out the last cycle().
Then, all this extra HTML gets shoved into this <a> tag's onclick attribute.
And
this happens for every <tr> in this table. This is just normal JavaScript, not
Ajax.

Comment the comment out with <%# cycle ... %>. Then use link_to_remote(), not
link_to_function(). It's only Ajax if the render :update is inside a real
controller action.
