Ruby Programming Language :: mixing onlick functions in link_to


	mixing onlick functions in link_to_function Hi: This is giving an error: <%= link_to_function "expand", "Element.toggle('in#{msg.id}'); Element.show('col#{msg.id}'); Element.hide('ex#{msg.id}'); document.getElementById('#{msg.id}').style.backgroundColor = 'white'; {new Ajax.Request('/messages/msg_read/#{msg.id}, {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}" %> I've tried it a bunch of different ways but I still get an: "unterminated string literal" error. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated - or Is there a better way? Thanks! Mike -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
