How to render a partial with javascript in Rails 3

Question

I am trying to use Javascript to render an .html.erb partial that itself contains safe Javascript.

<%= render :partial => "tasks" %> fails to render anything.

<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "tasks" ) %> renders the HTML but the javascript is escaped, so it doesn't work.

How can I get both the HTML and its embedded Javascript to render properly?

If the issue with <%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "tasks" ) %> is that the line is being escaped then <%= raw escape_javascript( render :partial => "tasks" ) %> should fix that.

If the extension of the file is .js.erb then you can use <%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "tasks" ) %>,

Alternatively <%= escape_javascript( render "tasks" ) %>

That really doesn't answer the question. – sscirrus Jun 01 '13 at 23:01
