Partial js file with locals

I have a lot of js files like new.js, index.js, create.js etc that handles my Ajax calls and other jquery code As the have many common code snippets I have tried to use partial js files For example I have a new.js file that calls a partial _new.js

new.js <%= render :partial=>‘new’, :formats=>[:js],:handlers=>[:erb] %>

_new.js <% if params[:group_id]%> $(“#group_participants_content”).html(“<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>‘form’))%>”); $(“.remote_selected”).removeClass(“selected remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf”); $(“#group_mail”).addClass(" remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf"); <%else%> $(“#users_content”).html(“<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>‘form’))%>”); $(“.remote_selected”).removeClass(“selected remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf”) $(“#mail”).addClass(“remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf”); <%end%> // Change our States History.replaceState({action:‘<%= “#{controller.action_name}/#{controller_name}” %>’}, ‘<%= “#{controller.action_name.titleize} #{controller_name}” %>’, ‘?action=<%= “#{controller.action_name}/#{controller_name}” %>’); var url=History.getState().url;
$(“#help”).attr(‘href’,“/helps/0?url=”+url)

That works but to be useful I would like to add locals as <%= render :partial=>‘new’, :formats=>[:js],:handlers=>[:erb], locals=>{id=>“#group_participants_content”}%> and change _new.js to $(‘"’+id+‘"’).html(“<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>‘form’))%>”); However that does not work- The js file seems then not to be loaded at all

Anyone that has any suggestion of what is wrong ?

Appreciate any help ?

I don't know whether there are any other problems but it should be :locals and :id I think

Colin Thanks for your answere, but that was just a typo from me. The code has :locals and :id

When asking questions it is always a good idea to copy/paste then you are more likely to get helpful replies. Perhaps there are different typos in your code that you have accidentally corrected when you re-typed it here.

The problem is now solved The correct use of locals should be

$("<%=id%>").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>'form'))%>");
and not
$('"'+id+'"').html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:

partial=>‘form’))%>");
