Hey Alexander, thanks for the patch!

I'm looking for a solution, meanwhile, do you mind creating a new patch using git format-patch? This way you will have the commit authorship.

After discussing with Yehuda once again and other people, we came to the fact we don't want to support this scenario explicitly. If you need to render another formats (like js) from a template, you will need to explicitly tell the lookup context object (which holds all information used on lookup) that it should consider this new format. In your case, you should try something like this:
```
update_details(:formats => [:js]){ render "rjs_template" }
```
Please let me know if it works as expected!

I just needed this too - and it works as expected:

<%= update_details(:formats => [:js]) { render 'shared/specific-js-template' } %>
