Hi Colin Thanks for that, but could you be a bit more specific please? If all I need is a couple of words in a single line of code it would be better for someone to just tell me exactly what is required. I've worked through quite a few tutorials and have learned a lot from them, but when wee things like this crop up I just want an answer straight away instead of working my way through a tutorial on the off chance that it may mention the thing I want to know about. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
