I have a variable created by some ruby in my controller that looks like this: @begpoint = row["begpoint"] and I want to pass it into some js that is referenced from within my view: view: <% javascript_include_tag "play_time" %> js (play_time): I am trying to pass "<beg-point> into the js [obviously that <> is not the right syntax just trying to denote where'd id like the variable to end up] var endtime = <beg-point>+10; myPlayer= document.getElementById('example_video_1'); myPlayer.addEventListener('loadeddata', function(){ myPlayer.currentTime = 10505.89; myPlayer.play(); myPlayer.addEventListener('timeupdate', function(){ if (myPlayer.currentTime >= endtime) { myPlayer.pause(); } Can anyone help? Thanks }, false); }, false); -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
