Question

I’ve got a rails project in which I read in a template file and in the javascript console I get the following error:

illegal XML character
appointment_show.js?body=1()appoin...?body=1 (line 2)
[Break On This Error] this.JST["appointments/show"] = <%= topic %>; 

Here is my current Backbone view I’m playing around with:

window.AppointmentView = Backbone.View.extend({
    template: JST["appointments/show"],

    render: function(){
        this.$el.html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
        return this;
    }
});

Here is my app/assets/templates/appointments/show.jst file

<%= topic %>

Answer 1

All I had to do was rename my app/assets/templates/appointments/show.jst to show.jst.ejs
