I promise, I''ve googled the hell out of it and haven''t found an answer. Set up: Putting together a little proof of concept app. Display a form (index.rhtml) that just has a button to

When rendering the following partial, the <script> block isn''t getting rendered at all.

I''m tring to use remote_function instead of writing all the javascript out, but am having difficulties.. I have this code in a layout: <body onload="<%= remote_function(:update => ''show_active'', :url => {:action => ''show_active_bugs''}, :complete => visual_effect(:blind_down, ''show_active'')) %>">
