Rails 3.1.3 I''m trying to pass a value to ''save.js.erb'' . in the view, I have put <%= hidden_field_tag "video-id", @video.id, { :id => "video-id" } %> then, I can retrieve it by var idval = $(''#video-id'').val(); It certainly gets the value. The problem is then I need to pass it to the following. I tried, $(''#listtrans'').html(''<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => "videos/script_list", :locals => { :scripts => Script.find_all_by_video_id( idval ) } ) %>''); //<= idval this does not work. $(''#listtrans'').html(''<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => "videos/script_list", :locals => { :scripts => Script.find_all_by_video_id('' + idval + '') } ) %>''); does not work either because of escape_javascript. This seems simple, but I can''t figure it out. Could anyone help me out? soichi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
