</div>

an Ajax request to my FranchiseController updates my page correctly

page.replace\_html ‘table\_list\_item’, :partial =\> ‘item\_franchise’  
page.show ‘show\_list\_item’

performed correctly

in my \_item\_franchise partial view, I have another nested partial to  
display a list of documents  
…

  
\<%= render :partial =\> ‘documents’ -%\>  

  
…

\_documents.rhtml view is displaying correctly the list of documents as a  
tree , using fairly javascript

...\<%= get\_tree\_data(@documents, 0){|n|... and so on... \</div

BUT at the end of this partial there is a \<  
script type=“text/javascript”\>  
… with some functions to be used when clicking somewhere in the tree,  
like  
function toggleMyTree(id) { … }  
…

my problem is I GET A JAVASCRIPT ERROR : toggleMyTree is not defined  
which happen because it seems that the script is not loaded with the  
partial …  
or mybe I am wrong … something else happen

any clue ?

thanks a lot for your help
