How to add rails html tags though Jquery?

I am trying to add rails html code using jquery, but didn't work. Code that i have tried:

   <% @user.each do |record| %>    
      <tr>
       <td>
         <%=  record.name %> 
       </td>
       <td>
         <%= record.gender %>
       </td>
      <%= record.dob %>
       </td>
    </tr>
  <% end %>
 <button id="edit_button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm edit" onclick="editRow();">更新</button>
  

  function editrow(){
     var $item = $('.edit').closest("tr").find(".nr");
         var name = "<%= text_field 'name', class: 'form-control' %>"
         $item[0].innerHTML= name;
   }

You can't dynamically insert ERB tags. The order of rendering an ERB goes something like this:

Rails reads ERB and renders HTML+assets -> 
HTML+assets get returned to your browser -> 
Your browser renders HTML and executes JavaScript

Your browser can't read ERB :(

Can you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to do with the "editrow" function, as well as show us more of the ERB?
