Question

View

<%= link_to "Link", {:action => "AjaxView",:col => "colname"}, 
            :update => "Ajaxcall", :remote => true %>

Controller

  def AjaxView
    @vars= Var.find(:all,:conditions => { :varName=> "one" },:select=>(params[:col]))
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js { render :layout=>false }
    end
  end

AjaxView.js.erb

   if ( (<%= col %>) == "colName") {
     $("#3").text("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "var") %>");
   }
   else
   {
     $("#2").text("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "var") %>");
   }

Issue here is this Variable “col” doesn’t get its exact value in AjaxView.js.erb file, and my If else condition doesn’t get executed. What am i missing here ?

Answer 1

  if ( @col.to_s == "colName") {
      $("#3").text("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "var") %>");
     }
      elsif ( @col.to_s == "colName1")
     {
     $("#2").text("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "var") %>");
     }
