Do you mean that within some javascript can you use Ruby? If you mean
that then this would be difficult. The ruby code is run in the server
which is where ruby is installed. Javascript is run in the users PC
in the browser.

Hi Colin, only u come when i asks anybody for help … 
Thanks.
Anyway my situation is that i have a gem installed on my machine
“calender_date_select” and i am dynamically populating the fields using
javascript… Now i also need to create a text-box with calendar with
javascript… Ordinarily, this is the way we use calendar_date_select:-
<%= calendar_date_select :abc, :def, :year_range =>
1.years.ago…1.years.since, %>
Can we write it in javascript…

You can do anything you like in javascript that you can do on any web
page. What do you mean by “create a text-box with calendar”.

I have not used calendar_date_select but I imagine it is already using
javascript to do the popup. Have a look at the html of your page and
see what is there. (View, Page Source or similar in browser).

While using calendar_date_select, it appers like this … i mean usage of
this gem…
<%= calendar_date_select :abc, :def, :year_range =>
1.years.ago…1.years.since %>, it come like this
TEXT_BOX(nameabc[def]) Button
After clicking on button a calendar popups and whatever date i select
comes in the text box… So in web page i am doing it like this only but
how should i do this in javascript… I am little bit confused…

I don’t understand what you mean when you say you want to write it in
javascript.

Hello,
if you define your Javascript function in your “html.erb” (and not on a
external file) you could just use <%= … %> to access ruby predefined
variables and on ruby
you would write that code in to a string and then use it.
but the calendar_date_select controle pretty much covers all the
javascript
needed for it to work…you just have to put it one the page.

Source code for line
<%= calendar_date_select :abc, :def, :year_range =>
1.years.ago…1.years.since, %>
is as:-

of ruby in javascript (hotruby)

you can make a main_scripts.js.erb inside one of your views
then you can mix in ruby and JS together. The ruby will be processed
first, and then made into a static js file, then you can include that.
OR, you can do inline JS in your views (it’s yucky though 
). You
could also get crazy and include the Johnson gem and then get some crazy
ruby generating JS on the fly stuff.
Good luck!

Thanks colin and Rui…
I made it worked… I copied the code from page source and give it to the
onclick of the text box. Earlier also, i was donig the same but a
variable was not there. So fixed it and worked like a charm…
Thanks again…
