PORails unable to access instance variable in .js.erb file
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm making an ajax request and when it's complete i'm trying to add a div to the page. For some reason, i am unable to get instance variables to work in a .js.erb file.</p> <p>I have this controller method that gets called</p> <pre><code> # PUT /applications/1 # PUT /applications/1.json def update @application = Application.find(params[:id]) @current_app = params[:application] @curr_app_id = params[:id] @current_app.values.each do |key, val| key.values.each do |k,v| @curr_app_field_name = k[:field_name] @curr_app_field_value = k[:field_type] end end respond_to do |format| if @application.update_attributes(params[:application]) format.html { redirect_to @application, notice: 'Application was successfully updated.' } format.json { head :no_content } format.js else format.html { render action: "edit" } format.json { render json: @application.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } format.js end end end </code></pre> <p>which renders this .js.erb file</p> <pre><code>console.log('name = '+<%= escape_javascript @curr_app_field_name %>); // line 1 console.log('test'); // line 2 </code></pre> <p>But when i leave the instance variable in there, i don't get any output in firebug. I can see in the post request that the console.logs get generated with the correct field name, but nothing appears in the firebug console.</p> <p>If i remove line 1 completely, it works. </p> <p>How can i make it so i can access some variables in a .js.erb file?</p>
