Question

I need to supply my users with js code, so I have text area:

  <%=  text_area_tag 'body',  "//<script>...</script>"%>

I can’t make it working. I know how to do it with variables from controllers :

      @payKey = @xml["payKey"].to_s()
      "#{@payKey}"

EDIT. FUll text to print:

    <script>var _p_g={id:@website.id};</script>
   <script src="..."></script>

and print it in view, but gave me error:

   E:/myapp/myapp_prev/myapp/app/controllers/websites_controller.rb:12: unknown regexp option - j
   E:/myapp/myapp_prev/myapp/app/controllers/websites_controller.rb:12: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_end
   <></script>"
                                               ^

So what would be better way to solve this trouble ?

Answer 1

The problem appears to be that you’re putting double quotes inside of other quotes, causing a syntax error.

Try this:

 <%=  text_area_tag 'body',  '<script src="//cdn.printitgreen.com/js/embedded.js"></script>'%>
