Almost everything. You're using eval (almost never necessary in Ruby --
send is usually what you want). You're using eval in the view (breaking
MVC). You're using dynamic element IDs (questionable but sometimes
necessary). You're using camelCase (poor style for Ruby).
And most importantly, you're asking a question that is so abstract that
it has little to do with your actual goal.
So...what are you actually trying to achieve here? What's your *actual*
code like? What errors or unexpected behavior are you getting?
Best,
