you can force the used formats:

respond_to do |format|
  format.js   { render :layout => "notice", :formats => [:html] }
  format.html { render :layout => "notice" }
end

EDIT:

What you need is part of the document replaced by the answer. This is done using javascript that does the job:

In your controller:

respond_to do |format|
  format.js
  format.html { render :layout => "notice" }
end

In your view login.js:

$('#whatever').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :login, formats: [ :html ]) %>')

... or something similar
