Not sure why you wouldn''t use RJS, but I saw a blog posting about 
setting up a route and controller to to use ERb on .rcss files.  The 
same technique should work for you:

My JavasScript file is for the most part static, and I think that if use 
RJS I would have to write lots of lines like the one below, wouldn''t I?

page << ''rawJavaScript();''

On the other hand, thanks for the link! Yes, that should work, although 
after seeing what has to be done, I think I will continue using the 
.rhtml extension.
