The best place to put helper methods for views is in... well...
helpers. In this case, in helpers/application_helper.rb
If you are using layouts, it's probable you're using a variant of
<body><%= yield %></body>, in which case it would be messy to change
the declaration for the inline javascript. I'd suggest adding it as a
javascript code in the header of the templates that need to use it.
Just add a <%= yield :extra_headers %> declaration in the header of
your layout if not already doing so.
Seems you are using prototype,
Event.observe($$('body'), 'load', function() {
Modalbox.show(...)
});
will do the trick
