Im pretty sure it gets called because it outputs html as one huge string e.g. '<table><th>Item</th>' and one long string displays in the browser. That's when I don't add puts at the end of the helper method. When I add puts and pass in the concatenated string, nothing gets displayed at all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
