Note that there is nothing special about the partial. The browser has no idea if the code came from a single template or was generated from the partials. So if something doesn't work its unrelated to the partial. Anyway.... if you have a javascript on that page that does gets executed you can *add* more code to the same spot from the partial like this:
<% content_for :on_load do %> .... js code to run on load <% end %> wherever you have a js code that runs on the load just add: <%= yield :on_load %> And it will add whatever was added in the partial. Note that it will work if the yield is in the layout or in the template *after* the rendering of the partial, this is because when it runs the partial must have run already (and layouts code is the last to execute btw, so that if you do <% @qwe = 123 %> anywhere in the templates or partials it will be available in the layout) Hope this helps. -- Vitaly Kushner http://twitter.com/vkushner Founder, Astrails Ltd. http://astrails.com Check out our blog: http://blog.astrails.com On Jul 7, 2:40 am, JannaB <mistressja...@hotmail.com> wrote: > In my view I have a: > > <%= render :partial => 'uplog' %> > > and the partial is shown below.
