Rails - Feb 2007 - RJS throwing 'rubycode' exception

All,

In an RJS template, how could I pass ruby variables values to the
javascript without getting the RJS Exception: rubycode? This is what
I''m
doing (as an example) and is throwing the exception:

index.rjs
========names = ["ruby", "ajax"]
page << "alert(#{names})"

You think that wouldn''t work because its an array, right? Ok, so if I
convert the array to string:

index.rjs
========names = ["ruby", "ajax"]
page << "alert(#{names.to_s})"

still not working.

Also, it is possible to assign a JS variable''s value to a ruby
variable?
Like this pseudo code:

index.rjs
========page << "js_var =
document.getElementById(''my_var'').value"
ruby_var = js_var


Thanks a lot.

I think this should do it:

names = ["ruby", "ajax"]
page << "alert(''#{names.to_s}'')"


(note the extra quotes in there for the javascript string.)
