Ruby flash messages with javascript won't appear

I'm trying to use my flash messages with some javascript functionality, but I'm having trouble with displaying the messages upon user sign-in and sign out. What might the problem be?

This is in the application.html.erb of my rails app.

<!-- Flash Messages -->
<% if flash[:notice] %>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    Messenger().post({
      message: flash[:notice],
    })
    </script>
<% elsif flash[:error] %>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    Messenger().post({
      message: flash[:error],
    })
  </script>
<% else %>
<% end %>
<% if flash[:alert] %>
  <p class="alert alert-danger"><%= flash[:alert] %></p>
<% end %>
<!-- /Flash Messages -->

I'm using javascript files in my assets folder. Hopefully when this is all done the messages will appear on the bottom right instead of the default top of the page.

You need to enclose between <%= and %> both flash[:notice] and flash[:error] messages:

<% if flash[:notice] %>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    Messenger().post({
      message: <%= flash[:notice] %>
    })
  </script>
<% elsif flash[:error] %>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    Messenger().post({
      message: <%= flash[:error] %>
    })
  </script>
<% else %>
<% end %>
<% if flash[:alert] %>
  <p class="alert alert-danger"><%= flash[:alert] %></p>
<% end %>
