Javascript in html file

Rails
1

Hi,

I have 2 views on which I am running some javascript for a rating:

from first view:

and second:

now here they work fine as is but, I don’t want them in the html so I
have moved them into reviews.coffee

however, now on using browser forward and back buttons more stars are
added every time I move back and forward with the browser(this doesn’t
happen if I leave them in the views)

I can’t work out how to fix this (I also have the feeling I shouldn’t be
using turbolinks:load like this)

If anyone with decent javascript knowledge could point me in the right
direction I’d be grateful…

thanks,

J.

$(’.star-rating’).raty({

have moved them into reviews.coffee

however, now on using browser forward and back buttons more stars are
added every time I move back and forward with the browser(this doesn’t
happen if I leave them in the views)

You may want to modify the raty() method so that it will only initialize
the object it is called on once. Set a semaphore on that object, and if
it is present, fall through.
