#update_page {|gs| ... } ⇒ Object

Renders javascript in an html file

Example:

<%= update_page do |page|
      page.alert('this gets translated to js!')
      page.show('my_hidden_div')
    end
%>

This returns (assuming Prototype is your Js Framework):

<script type='text/javascript'>
    alert('this gets translated to js!');
    $('my_hidden_div').show();
</script>

Yields:

  • (gs)
