How to stop auto encoding of <%= strings %> with Rails 3.0beta

Question

I'm using rails 3.0beta3. In my index.html.erb and in my index.js.erb, if I have:

<%= "string with unsafe characters' like <" %>

It will automatically be encoded to:

string with unsafe characters" like &

just the same as if I had used:

<%=h "string with unsafe characters' like <" %>

How do I get it to stop? I have stored some short bits of JavaScript that I need to insert into the template without it automatically encoding the string?

Answer 1

Just use the raw method like this:

<%=raw "string with unsafe characters' like <" %>
