Hi All,  
I’m trying to embed a json object into one of views, and what used to  
work  
in Rails 2.x now no longer works.

I’m generating the json code in my Staff model:  
def schedule  
appointments = Appointment.find(:all, :conditions =\> {:staff\_id =\>  
self.id})  
appointments.to\_json(  
:only =\>  
[:id,:start,:end,:title,:body,:repeat,:repeat\_id,:mon\_repeat,:tue\_repeat,:wed\_repeat,:thu\_repeat,:fri\_repeat,:sat\_repeat,:sun\_repeat])  
end

In my view I’m doing the following:

Finally, the output is not in JSON format, but rather:

Does anyone know what I can do so that the JSON object is rendered so  
that  
my javascript can read it?

Thanks.
