I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the proper syntax to have jQuery (in an .js file) grab an HTML attribute and use the value of that attribute to load a partial.
HTML fragment: <a href="/toggle" data-remote="true" section="training"> jQuery string (now setting a static partial, I need this to be dynamic) $("#services").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "operations" )) %>").show() I want the value of "section" as that corresponds to the name of the partial. I've tried to look at this in Firebug, but I'm not able to set the proper breakpoint so I can see the context when the jQuery string is evaluated. What I want is something like: foo = $(this).data("section") $("#services").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => foo )) %>").show() or $("#services").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => $ (this).data("section") )) %>").show() Thank you for you time -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
