That's not true at all. Most of it is due to metaprogramming, which is a very different thing than dynamically generating source code as text -- in fact, the point of Ruby's metaprogramming is that you *don't* have to dynamically generate source code to have dynamic behavior. Please get your facts straight. (There are a few spots deep in the Rails framework where source code is generated as strings, presumably for efficiency reasons. I regard these as either errors or performance hacks, and I would never attempt to do likewise in my own application code.) > >>> >>> Also, what do you mean by hidden div? >> >> A div with display: none in its style. >> >>> Do you mean you just jam >>> the data in it or use it for html templating? >> >> I don't understand what you're asking. > > Do you use html/js templating, or the hidden div is filled with > data? That's not an "or" question, is it? Or am I still not understanding what you mean?
