Question

I would like to rendex a form (in a specific div) without refreshing the window. The problem is that

$('#details').html("<%= escape_javascript(render('form')) %>");

is rendering my form hast text instead of html.

The code:
in my index.html.erb I have

<%= link_to 'Edit note', edit_note_path(:id => Note.user_note(wine.id,current_user.id)),:remote => true %><br/>

then In my Controller I have

 def edit
    @note = Note.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js {}
    end
  end

Then in edit.js.erb I have:

$('#details').html("<%= escape_javascript(render('form')) %>");

What happens is that the div details get’s the form has text not as an html form appearance.

I’m using Rails 3.08, Jquery ..and so far no problems with the ajax ..is just in this particular case that I want to render html instead of text.

am I missing something ? Thanks for your time 🙂

Try:

$('#details').html("<%== escape_javascript(render('form')) %>");

(Note the use of <%== in place of <%=).
