call the action like "/controller_name/action_name.js" this from the javascript file, if the call is ajax make your controller respond to js then the file action_name.js is really named action_name.js.rb file there do <%=render :text => user.id%>
this is what should happen, you call from the javascript "/controller_name/action_name.js", this goes to the route and matches map.connect /:controller/:action.:format you see the format at the end ? rails will return the action_name.js.rb ignoring the rb part as it does with index.html.rb that file will render the text with the user id, another option is returning a json object, read a bit about it because i think json is the way to go.
