slim file is not executing the js inside it

i am using gem 'jeditable-rails' in my rails 3.2 application for inplace editting In my controller, i have 

def update
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
@article.update_attributes(params[:article])
render :layout => false if request.xhr?
end

ANd in my articles/update.js.slim

i have 

- unless @article.errors.empty?
  | $("#error_msg").html(@article.errors);
- else
  | $("#success_msg").html("updated successfully");

But when i do an update it updates and going to the js file and renders it like as it is. like $("#error_msg").html(@comment.errors); is printed as such or $("#success_msg").html("updated successfully")

EDIT :

i am using the jeditable plugin for edit in place for my article title alone. It updates the article title and renders the js file as it is

the response which i got here is json. how to resolve this. GIve suggestions

Using the | pipe tells the Slim rendering engine to output the content as text, hence why you are literally seeing it print your JavaScript code as text.

In this case, I don't think you want or need to use Slim here. Using ERB would be just fine. Try replacing the articles/update.js.slim file with articles/update.js.erb instead with the following code:

var valid = <%= @article.errors.empty? %>;

if (valid) {
  $("#success_msg").html("updated successfully");
}
else {
  $("#error_msg").html("<%= escape_javascript(@article.errors) %>");
}
