Not able to render the html after ajax call in Rails 3 and ruby 1.9.3

I am uploading image using filedrop.js. Code in application.js file looks like this:-

 $(".droparea").each(function(event){
  var game_id = $(this).attr('id')
  $(this).filedrop({
  maxfilezsize: 5,
  maxfiles: 1,
  dataType: "script",
  paraname :"custom_game[file]"
  url: "/game_plans/'+$(".dropbox").attr("rel")+'/games/'+game_id+/upload_file.js"
  })
 }

This part is working fine. I am getting into the proper action with proper parameters.

def upload_file
  # NOTE Upload_file action has been explicity written for the file upload using drag and drop
  @custom_game = CustomGame.find_or_initialize_by_id(params[:id])
  @game_plan = GamePlan.find(params[:game_plan_id])
  @custom_game.update_attributes(params[:custom_game])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js
  end
end

upload_file.js.erb:

$("#<%=  @custom_game%>_file").html(<%= @custom_game.file%>);

But in view of respective action i.e. upload_file.js.erb I am not able to execute any of the javascript commands , whereas ruby commands are working properly. And in log also it says that the partial has been successfully rendered.

My log shows:-

(101.8ms)  COMMIT
Rendered activities/upload_file.js.erb (0.6ms)
Completed 200 OK in 379ms (Views: 10.8ms | ActiveRecord: 106.9ms)

I have no clue where I am making the mistake. No jquery command is being executed in upload_file.js.erb , but ruby commands are working properly.

$("#<%=  @custom_game%>_file").html(<%= @custom_game.file%>);

<%= @custom_game %> returns the CustomGame object, where I think you ment to use @custom_game.title or something. jQuery cant find $("#<#CustomGame:834793746>_file") so html is not replaced.

You might want to try the javascript in a console to check if it executes manually (using chrome's dev tools myself)
