I'm hoping that the missing </div> tags are just a typo in the above, as are the missing =s on the ERB tags (not going to get much output...). As written, you're actually going to get the ERB tags un- interpreted in the output HTML. Take a look at the Layouts and Rendering guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html specifically the parts about partials for a cleaner way to do this. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
