Rails .js render html in modal

Question

I'm passing the following as a parameter to a modal:

"<iframe width="350" height="197" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jsExp2ebB4s?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>"

Then, I try to render it dynamically in a modal...in my show.js....

$("#modalpostvid").html("params[:vid]")

But it loads text (i.e. loads it as a string) instead of the embedded video.

How can I make it so that the video embeds?

Thank you.

try

$("#modalpostvid").html("<%= escape_javascript params[:vid].html_safe %>")
