rails 3 js code error

Question

I have this code in my process_form.js.erb file:

$('#write_offs_table > tbody').append('<tr class="list-line-<%= cycle('even', 'odd') %>" id="<%= @write_off.id %>">                                           
                                           <td class="name"><%= @write_off.date %></td>
                                           <td><%= @write_off.user.name %></td>
                                           <td><%= @write_off.status %></td>
                                           </tr>');

it doesn't execute and chrome shows me an error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

Try this:

$('#write_offs_table > tbody').append('<tr class=list-line-<%= cycle("even", "odd") %> id="<%= @write_off.id %>">\                                     
                                       <td class="name"><%= @write_off.date %></td>\
                                       <td><%= @write_off.user.name %></td>\
                                       <td><%= @write_off.status %></td>\
                                       </tr>');

I used the \ character to tell javascript that it continues on a new line.

/ doesn't change anything but the idea about new line, I put it all in one line and now it's ok, thanks

You're welcome. I think you need the backslash \ instead of the forward slash /.
