Here's a solution if you really want to keep the number of < script> tag minimal in your html and still be able to have your IDE highlight javascript. It's really useful with jquery if you want only one $(document).ready() call in your html or with facebook js api to call js when the api is loaded, etc...

layout_helper.rb :

  def javascript_jquery_ready(script)
    content_for(:javascript_jquery_ready) {
      script .gsub(/(

any view file:

<% javascript_jquery_ready (capture do %>
  
<% end) %>

This solution enable me to keep my code organise and readable in my IDE since I don't need to create partial for every js code. Even if it change nothing for the end user the html result is cleaner.
