I expect this to work pretty will even in view.html.erb. As I write, I am
able to do this without problems as follows:

var userName = "<%= @user.name%>";

Is it possible to assign a ruby string value to a javascript variable?

I can display the ruby value on the browser. It looks fine, but when I  try

var str = '<%= #{@str} %>';

The question might be what is firing the bug, is it JS or Ruby? I suspect
the Ruby string that is being passed is incorrect.
