plugin from github not successfully installing

Question

When I place this in my base application html.haml file:

= javascript_include_tag :defaults, 'jquery-1.3.2.min', 'highcharts'
<!--[if IE]>
javascript_include_tag 'excanvas.compiled'
<![endif]-->
%script{:type => "text/javascript"}
$(document).ready(function() {
= yield :javascripts
});

I get a textual description of a graph that is supposed to appear visually:

$(document).ready(function() { var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({ chart: { margin: [50, 30, 0, 30], renderTo: 'pie-chart-container' }, credits: { text: 'Data provided by NETMARKETSHARE', enabled: true, href: 'http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser … px?qprid=3' }, legend: { style: {left: 'auto', right: '50px', top: '75px', bottom: 'auto' }, layout: 'vertical' }, plotOptions: { pie: {dataLabels: {color: 'white', enabled: true, formatter: function() { if (this.y > 15) return this.point.name; }, style: {font: '10pt Helvetica', textShadow: '#000000 1px 1px 2px' } } } }, series: [ {type: 'pie', data: [{y: 3.57, identifier: 'applewebkit', name: 'Safari'}, {y: 22.32, sliced: true, identifier: 'gecko', name: 'Firefox'}, {y: 56.9, identifier: 'msie', name: 'Internet Explorer'}, {y: 17.21, name: 'Other'}]} ], subtitle: { text: 'January 2010' }, title: { text: 'Browser Market Share' }, tooltip: { formatter: function() { return "" + this.point.name + ": " + this.y + " %"; } }, xAxis: { title: {text: '' } }, yAxis: { title: {text: '' } } }); });

Answer 1

I recommend contacting the project owner by filing an issue on the github project.

Answer 2

You need to place that script in the layout or some other erb file.

The application.js is not being parsed so you can't use inline ruby in it (or any other file residing in the public directory.
