OK I just read your other thread, and I'm pasting the contents here
(multiple threads for the sammmmme exact issue is a terrible way to
get your problem resolved):
"Dear Friends,
I use render :file method to display html file which has images in
it .
The render file method not displays a HTML file with images that's
exists inside public folder.
Both my HTML files and images refereed are in the public folder only.
Question 1: how to view that HTML file with images in it
Question 2: why render file method is not showing the images in
the
HTML
file and simply shows the HTML content without images
Thanks for any helps! "
OK. The resources are already in /public. How every Rails app setup
works is that files in /public are served directly by the webserver,
bypassing your Rails app. So if you have HTML pages in /public, Rails
does not need to get involved in their serving at all. EXAMPLE: your
site runs from http://localhost. you have a file "d:\railsapp\public
\static_content\ish.html." This file can be view by navigating to
http://localhost/static_content/ish.html in the web browser.
Does this help? If not, *what exactly are you trying to accomplish.*
I don't care how you think you can accomplish it, just say what the
end result should be.
