I;m not entirely sure what is going on (eg how does the original date
object get set in javascript), but if you are expecting your
javascript to magically react to the change of a controller instance
variable that isn't going to happen.
Depending on what it is that is going on you may find that adding
page.assign('some_variable', 'some_value')
to your render :update block does the trick.
