That's completely normal - At the point that the template is rendered all of your <%= are evaluated - if you look at the source in the browser you won't see any of your ruby code (and even if you could, what's your browser supposed to do with ruby). If you need some ruby code evaluated you need to make a request to the server Fred > > Is there any way I could get Time.now to update with every click? > > Thanks in advance! > > Nick. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
