Rails - Jun 2005 - how can Ajax.Updater execute javascript

I have a view that contains some javascript and HTML... I would like
to return this view and dynamically insert it in my page via ajax:

new Ajax.Updater(''datagrid_wrapper'',
''url/to/my/view'', {asynchronous:true});

The problem is, the javascript in the returned view doesn''t get
executed... I guess I just figured that overwriting innerHTML on an
element with script tags would actually execute that js.  Any
recommendations on a work around withou having to change my view?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

The Multipart form upload with progress patch includes a patch that  
allows
for the execution of <script> tags with Ajax.Updater.

See this .diff for more information:
http://dev.rubyonrails.com/attachment/ticket/1026/ 
upload_progress-1388-2.diff

You''ll need the changes to prototype.js and javascript_helper.rb.
