Because it is showing the return value of the method each, not what you are doing in the block. You need to build up a string in the block which is the concatenation of your li strings. Crudely, something like str = "" @myhash.each { |k,v| str += "<li>#{k}</li>" } Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
