How to show div with radio button onclick

I am trying to get a div to show when a radio button is clicked but the problem is that the div is dynamically named. I am using the normal html for a radio button:

<input type="radio" name="edit_option" checked="checked" value="this_appt">

Because observe field does not work well with radio buttons. I have tried adding an onclick with the div id:

<input type="radio" name="edit_option" checked="checked" value="this_appt" onclick = "$('edit_appt_frequency_#{@appt_to_edit.id}').show()">

But the #{@appt_to_edit.id} does not get rendered and I have had a lot trouble figuring out how to do this. I think I need to use some sort of inline RJS? Im not sure, does anyone have any ideas?

<input type="radio" name="edit_option" checked="checked" value="this_appt" onclick = "$('edit_appt_frequency_<%=@appt_to_edit.id%>').show()">

this should do it. You are inside HTML code and not inside a ruby string, so the #{} syntax won't work. Instead you have to use the Erb sequence <%= %>
