title: How to access an instance variable inside a Javascript function in Ruby on Rails application?
body: <p>I have a form for editing profiles. Rails automatically generates the form id as 'edit_profile_##' where ## is the profile id of the current user(instance variable-@profile_id). I need to use this form id for my javascript functions. Is there a way to get the current user's profile id inside js? Or is there a way I can override the automatic id generation by rails? </p>
