    #javascript_tag(content_or_options_with_block = nil, html_options = {}, &block)  
  



  

    

Returns a JavaScript tag with the content inside. Example:



javascript_tag "alert('All is good')"



Returns:



<script>
//<![CDATA[
alert('All is good')
//]]>
</script>




html_options may be a hash of attributes for the <script> tag.



javascript_tag "alert('All is good')", defer: 'defer'



Returns: 



<script defer="defer">
//<![CDATA[
alert('All is good')
//]]>
</script>




Instead of passing the content as an argument, you can also use a block in which case, you pass your html_options as the first parameter.



<%= javascript_tag defer: 'defer' do -%>
  alert('All is good')
<% end -%>
