Question

so, the create action on my model works, but it won’t send a the javascript view back to the browser. I went through my stacktrace and found the problem(i think))

    Rendered posts/create.js.erb (51.0ms)
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 1173ms

ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `escape_javaScript' for #<#<Class:0x4924020>:0x491c598>):
    1: $('body').html("<h1><%= escape_javaScript(@post.title) %></h1>").append("<%= escape_javaScript(@post.content) %>");

  app/views/posts/create.js.erb:1:in `_app_views_posts_create_js_erb__102872654_38327136'
  app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:45:in `create'

does rails 3.1 not support ‘escape_javascript’?

Answer 1

It supports escape_javascript but not escape_javaScript. Note capital ‘S’ in your case.
