Calling JS method from Rails Controller

So this is my controller function.

def fb_close
  current_user.update_user_points(SHARE_POINT_ONE, message, current_user.id, 0) if params[:post_id].present?
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js { render :js => "my_function();" }
  end
end

and im trying to go back a js function called my_function inside script tag on the same page. I'm getting an error like ActionController::UnknownFormat

I want to know where i was wrong. Please correct me.

I have a file named fb_close.html.erb i can get the call to that file.. Is there any way i can link it with a js function

You should be better putting the code of my_function in a separate file of format js and call it like format.js { render 'your_file_name' }

respond_to do |format|
  format.js { render 'your_file_name' }
end

You have to create a file like fb_close.js.erb and put the code of my_function in it and call it like this

respond_to do |format|
format.js { render 'fb_close' }
end
