Try adding this to your haml template:

:javascript
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $(".best-button").click(function() {
       alert("ok");
    });
  });

This will show the alert, but not as a response to the ajax request.

You need to configure the success callback for the remote ajax request to handle the response. Add this script to your haml file:

$('.best-button')
  .bind('ajax:success', function(event, data, status, xhr){ 
    eval(data.response);
  });

And change your js.erb to return a json object in the form {response: 'alert("ok")'}.
