I am trying to access an instance variable from a js.erb file.

```
#controller
def get_person
  @person = Person.find(1)

  respond_to do |format|
   format.js{}
  end
end

#get_person.js.erb
alert('<%= @person.last_name %>')

```

When I browse to [controller\_name\_here]/get\_person.js ... I get a nil object error on @person. (I know Person.find(1) returns an object)

Note: I am actually having trouble rendering a partial in my js.erb file and am trying to identify the cause.
