How to render patial through replaceWith()

I have looked at similar question and the answers didn't work and may be dated. I think there used to be a thing called RJS to do this but, I am trying to simply remove one partial and replace another.

$("#me")
  .replaceWith( '<%= escape_javascript render(partial: "photoSpread") %>')

What happens is the its sent to the browser as text and just displays <%= escape_javascript render(partial: "photoSpread") %>

sorry I wasn't thinking. rails is servver side so I have to load all the partials first and then swap. Something like this.

  jQuery ->
  $("#me2").hide()
  $("#go").on "click", ->
    $("#me").toggle()
    $("#me2").toggle()

Replace <% with <%=

$("#me").replaceWith('<%= escape_javascript render("photoSpread") %>')
  • <% will just evaluate the ruby code inside it

whereas

  • <%= will evaluate and print the code inside <%= %>
