js call with rails generated attributes (item ids)

[Claus Stachl]

hi. i want do call my js method "appear(box1, box2)" with rails created,
dynamic ids for my div tags -->

:complete => "appear('<%= dom_id(person.id)box %>','<%=
dom_id(person.id) %>')" %>

...unfortunatly, that doesn't work: syntax error, unexpected $end,
expecting ')' and so on.

how has the js call to look like? i hope u r able to help me.
here s the code snippet:

<% unless person.about == "" %>

<%= link_to_remote "mehr",
:url=>{:action => "showMore"},
:update => dom_id(person.id),
:complete => "appear('<%= dom_id(person.id)box %>','<%=
dom_id(person.id) %>')" %>

<% end %>

<div id="<%= dom_id(person.id) %>box">
<div id="<%= dom_id(person.id) %>"></div>
</div>

that string is just a string (ie it's not put through erb)
"appear('#{dom_id(person.id)}box','#{dom_id(person.id)')"

should do the trick

sorry for disturbing again: now the produced html code is ok, but my
script isn't called. i use this script on an other site, thus i'm sure
the script is ok. can u think about a reason for that problem.

Use firebug to see what's going on (eg set a breakpoint in your appear
function).
