As far as I can tell button_to is for submitting a form. Is there something in rails dedicated for buttons that just run some javascript on the client without sending anything to the server?

If you want to run only javascript on client side, you can add plain html button and call some function to run your required javascript, by binding an event to that button. You dont need to use rails code at all.
