title: passing an array from EJS to Javascript
body: <p>I am trying to passe an array from ejs to JavaScript. I can get to the values inside ejs but not from JavaScript. all the time i get undefined because the contents of the variable "test" is a string is not an array.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
  
  var test = '&lt;%- level_tab %&gt;';
  alert(test);
  
  function level(s1,s2){
              var s1 = document.getElementById(s1);
              var s2 = document.getElementById(s2);
              s2.innerHTML = "";
              if(s1.value == "level_0"){
                  var optionArray = test;
              }
              else if(s1.value == "level_1"){
                  var optionArray = ["test|test01", "test0|test02"];
              }
   for(var option in optionArray){
                  var pair = optionArray[option].split("|");
                  var newOption = document.createElement("option");
                  newOption.value = pair[0];
                  newOption.innerHTML = pair[1];
                  s2.options.add(newOption);
              }
          }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
