Hi Ivan,
Is it possible to put the RubyHtmlHelper code in a file under the Helpers
directory?
Another MVC question - I tried to use alias_action but couldn't get it to
work. I also tested it on the sample Mvc project (HomeController uses it -
alias action :my_method, :index_again) without success as well.
Thanks for the help!
Shay.
