the <%= %> notation is what you use in a view to execute embedded ruby code. if you literally want to just print "hello world" in your view, then you wouldn't need the <%= %>. however, say you want to say "hello username" where username is the current user's name, then your view would look something like:
hello <%= currentuser.name %> On Nov 9, 12:24 pm, Norm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Frederick Cheung wrote: > > On 8 Nov 2008, at 19:57, Peter Alvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > s.net> wrote: > >> With Microsnot technology you an do this: > > >> <% Response.Write "Hello, World" %> > > > <%= "hello world" %> > > > Fred > > >> How do you output text to the browser with Ruby? > > >> Pete > >> -- > >> Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > Fred.. > Maybe I am missing something here but why would you surround a straight > string in <%=""%>.
