That's now how you are supposed to use page.call. The first argument
is supposed to be the function to call (ie $('my_div').update) and
subsequent arguments are arguments to pass through. What your code
does is ask the browser to execute
$('my_div').update(<span>some html here</span>)
(assuming that was the html content), ie the string literal is not
quoted and is just dumped in there. There is no need to use page.call
here though as page.replace_html handles this already (see
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/JavaScriptGenerator/GeneratorMethods.html#M001446
)
