Question

I am adding some view specific .js code to the header of the page using content_for like so

<% content_for :head do %>
  <script lang="text/javascript">
    $.getJSON("<%= book_chapters_path(@book) %>", function(data){

    });
  </script>
<% end %>

now how would I switch that js code to coffescript, can I put in a code block to tell rails to convert it to javascript, or even just add “lang/coffeescript” and rails would then just handle it.
