Rails remote delete and update view through Ajax
Thanks to this page I found the proper way to do it. So simple and effective.

Update your destroy line in index.html.erb:
<%= link_to 'Destroy', pony, method: :delete, data: { confirm:'Are you sure?' }, :remote => true, :class => 'delete_pony' %>Create a file, destroy.js.erb, put it next to your other .erb files (under app/views/ponies). It should look like this:
$('.delete_pony').bind('ajax:success', function() { $(this).closest('tr').fadeOut();});Add format.js { render :layout => false } to your controller:
respond_to do |format| format.html { redirect_to ponies_url } format.json { head :no_content } format.js { render :layout => false }end
Hope this helps someone else.
