Rails 3 jquery in js.erb template is creating escaped html?

Question

In Rails 3, I've got an update.js.erb template with one simple line of jquery:

$("#some_div").html("<strong>some_content</strong>");

Upon form submission, all the ajaxy stuff is working fine, but the content in #some_div is being replaced with "<strong>some_content</strong>" instead of some_content. Does anyone have a clue why?

This was working fine in Rails 2. Thanks in advance for the help.

Update (semi-solved):Stupid me, still had jquery.form plugin hanging around, which doesn't magically play well. Looks like I'll be ripping some stuff apart again ... thanks for the help, folks.

Answer 1

if you are on jQuery 1.4, please try,

$('#some_div').html(function(i,v){
    return $('<strong>').html('some_content');
});

( p.s. I like single quotes on javascript )
