Could not override ajax() with Rails 3.1

[runlevel5]

With jQuery 1.4.2 and Rails 3.x (manual method), I could override and bind the ajax to invoke callbacks on ajax success. However, this doesn't work with jquery-ujs 1.0.12 and Rails 3.1 (git) that leads to two requests to be invoked instead of one. I suspect this is related to issue #10 Here is an example:

1. Generate test app

   rails new test123
   cd test123
   rails g scaffold states name:string abbr:string
   rake db:migrate
   

2. Make sure we're usin the latest 3-1-stable by modify Gemfile:

   gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git', :branch => '3-1-stable'
   

3. bundle install

4. Modify following files:

app/controllers/states_controller.rb:

  def new
    @state = State.new

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # new.html.erb
      format.js { render :text => 'hello world' } # we add this 
    end
  end

app/views/states/index.html.erb:

<%= link_to 'New State', new_state_path, :remote => true %>

app/assets/javascripts/states.js:

$(function(){
    $('a[data-remote=true]').live('click', function(){
        $.get(this.href, function(data) {
          alert(data);
        });
        return false;
    });
});

With the help of Firebug, it is indicated that there are 2 requests invoked. This might explain that the binding is not successful.

This should be posted over in the jquery-ujs issues, since this is a problem with the javascript and not the gem or installer itself.
