Hi !

I’m a newbie to rails. I’m trying to add javascript tags to my view  
the following way :

```
@events.each do |e|
      [...]
%(javascript_tag 'new

```

Popup(‘event\_popup\_#{e.id}’,‘event\_link\_#{e.id}’)’)  
[…]  
end

This code is not working unfortunately, and the js tags are missing in  
my html source code.

Can somebody help me with this issue. I guess I didn’t use the correct  
syntax.

If this is in a view, then to embed JS you want:

\<%= javascript\_tag ‘some javascript code’ %\>
