This isn't really how you'd use the before/after filters. What it sounds like is that you need to be able to trigger js to be called on specific actions? You might consider adding the js code to your application layout view... and use a before filter on the specific actions you want this to run and have that show the corresponding js. For example: before_filter :trigger_js_stuff def trigger_js_stuff @reload_page = true end In your view... <% if @reload_page %> // trigger your js code here <% end %> Good luck!
