Convert rjs to js.erb in rails 3.1

Question

How to do I convert an rjs file to js.erb

Just renaming doesn't work in my case

This is my old code(works well with rails 2 app)

page.replace_html(
 "overlay" , 
  :partial => @path_resolver.resolve_template(
                :tmpl_name => 'cmn/popup/shared/show_popup',
                :partial => true
            ),
:object => @content_data

)

I changed the code to

  page.replace_html(
"overlay" , 
("<%= escape_javascript(render(
:partial => @path_resolver.resolve_template(
                :tmpl_name => 'cmn/popup/shared/show_popup',
                :partial => true
            ))) %>"),

 :locals => {:object => @content_data }

)

Now I got an syntax error in firebug like

 SyntaxError: syntax error

 :locals => {:object => @content_data }

If i pass the object code as :object => @content_data (without using locals)

im getting another error

 syntax error
 :object => @content_data

I found a solution.

We need to use Element.update in place of page.replace_html.

The new code looks like:

Element.update (
  "overlay" ,
  "<%= escape_javascript(render(
            :partial => @path_resolver.resolve_template(
            :tmpl_name => '../shared/show_popup',
            :partial => true,

             :object => @content_data 
           ))) %>"
)
