When calling ajax(), it is not necessary to send any data via a form field
(the value of the second parameter can simply be an empty list).

Instead of doing that, when constructing the links themselves, just add the
relevant id to the href URL -- the action called via Ajax can then pull the
id from request.args.

response.js is only used when a component is called via web2py_component().
If using the ajax() function with the ":eval" target, just return the
Javascript directly:
return '[your Javascript code]'
