Ruby on Rails

I have a lot of js files like new.js, index.js, create.js etc that handles my Ajax calls and other jquery code
As the have many common code snippets I have tried to use partial js files
For example I have a new.js file that calls a partial _new.js

new.js
<%= render :partial=>'new',  :formats=>[:js],:handlers=>[:erb] %>

_new.js
<% if params[:group_id]%>
    $("#group_participants_content").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>'form'))%>");
    $(".remote_selected").removeClass("selected remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf");
    $("#group_mail").addClass(" remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf");
<%else%>
$("#users_content").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>'form'))%>");
$(".remote_selected").removeClass("selected remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf")
$("#mail").addClass("remote_selected simple-navigation-active-leaf");
<%end%>
// Change our States
History.replaceState({action:'<%= "#{controller.action_name}/#{controller_name}" %>'}, '<%= "#{controller.action_name.titleize} #{controller_name}" %>', '?action=<%= "#{controller.action_name}/#{controller_name}" %>');
var url=History.getState().url;   
$("#help").attr('href',"/helps/0?url="+url)

That works but to be useful I would like to add locals as
<%= render :partial=>'new',  :formats=>[:js],:handlers=>[:erb], locals=>{id=>"#group_participants_content"}%>
and change _new.js to
  $('"'+id+'"').html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>'form'))%>");
However that does not work- The js file seems then not to be loaded at all

Anyone that has any suggestion of what is wrong ?

Appreciate any help ?
