actually, i'm not trying to run haml and rails in the browser. i
understand that the :javascript filter takes only plain text, so this
won't work. but this kind of approach works in rhtml. the point is i
want to be able to have a js block which haml still processes for haml
tags. if there's no way to do it, fine. but it's not as strange as you
seem to think.

in rhtml i can do this:

<script type="text/javascript>
  if (document.cookie.indexOf('signed_in') == -1) {
    document.write('<li class="first"><%= link_to("Sign
In", :controller =>
"user", :action => "sign_in")%></li>');
  }
</script>

this is not trying to do rails in the browser, since rails processes
this text and builds the link tag. guess this approach won't work in
haml?
