Joshua, You can't access that variable directly from jQuery because jQuery is Javascript running in the browser and @phone_number_categories is Ruby running on the server. If you want to do all this on the client side then you can save the categories into a Javascript variable that is in scope with the jQuery code. You can store them in an array or JSON object or an array of JSON objects or what ever makes the most sense.
