Rails - Jan 2007 - Can I use erb code inside a .js file?

Hi all,

Can I have a ruby code inside a java script function written in .js file?
When I tried it, i got an error.
e.g. consider following function inside myscript.js file

myscript.js
function sayHi
{
    <%name="xyz"%>;
    alert(''HI <%=name%>'');
}

But this works if I have above function in a rhtml file inside <script>
tag.

Any inputs in this regard will be really helpful.

Thanks and Regards,
Medha.
