Rails - Aug 2009 - Sinatra: jquery displays ruby code when calling for an update. a little help please.

Hey all,

So I''m running into an issue with jquery when making an ajax call to
retrieve a string. It comes back displaying the entire chunk of code
rather than rendering it in my erb file... I''m confused.

Here''s the actual code hopefully someone can help before I pull my
hair out.

----results.js---
$(function() {
	$(".search_box").live("keyup", function() {
		$.getScript("/javascripts/index.js.erb");
		return false;
	});
});


--- index.js.erb ---
$("#jresults").html(''<%= escape_javascript(erb(:results,
:layout =>
false)) %>'');


This works for the most part but the <%= escape_javascript(erb
(:results, :layout => false)) %> actually displays in my view when I
call for the update. Looking at the source it looks like the original
data is there also.

Has anyone ran into this before? I''m sure it''s a big red truck
but
right I can''t figure it out for the life of me.

OH and before I forget I''m using Sinatra for this app.

You omitted the most relevant of code: the ruby code processing the
request. Given that rails is not involved at all, the sinatra google
group may be more relevant.

You have a good point on the group. :)
