how to display for errors using js request

html rendering is done this way : ( sorry... haml code..)

= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => user_registration_path(I18n.locale) ) do |f|      = render "shared/error_messages", :target => [resource]

and the shared/error_messages partial is quite standard ( made visible or not... if no errors...)

#resource_error_messages{:style => "display:#{errorsInForms(target) > 0 ? 'visible' : 'none'}"}       #error_explanation     - target.each do |field|       - if field.errors.any?         %ul         - field.errors.full_messages.each do |msg|           %li= msg.html_safe unless msg.nil?

this runs very well .... but I need to output it with a js request ( render :action => 'create.js' ) in my create.js.erb , I wrote :

$('#resource_error_explanation').html("<%= escape_javascript( render 'shared/error_messages', :target => [resource] ) -%>");

to render the errors, then I show the div $('#resource_error_messages').show();

but the errors are NOT rendered at all.... what should I write instead ??

thanks for your feedback

You forgot to post you controller code, that the most important part

I finally solved this issue ...passing the locals ...

$('#resource_error_explanation').html("<%= escape_javascript( render 'shared/error_messages', :target => [resource] ) -%>"); is not valid ...

in the controller I have now @target = [resource] and I am passing :locals => {:target => @target} I modified also the partial to use target and that's it...

it tooks time to switch my mind to non-obstrusive js , but I understand it better and of course I appreciate it
