Question

I have a controller like so:

  def index
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html {}
      format.js {render :layout => false}
    end
  end

index.html.erb

hello i"m index.html.erb

index.js.erb

<%= render :template => "dashboard/index" %>

What I want to do is have index.html or index.js return the same thing. But I can’t see to do that without making index.html.erb a partial (_index.html.erb) but then when a user makes an html call that won’t work.

How can I get the index.js.erb to render index.html.erb? which I would then escape with jQuery. Thanks

Try:

<%= raw render(:template => "dashboard/index").to_json %>
