error in if statement..

Hi,

The below code is my global layout..code I would like to include a if statement in it.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head>   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />   <title>Languages: <%= controller.action_name %></title>   <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'scaffold' %> </head> <body>

<p style="color: green"> <% if flash[:notice].empty? %>    <%= flash[:message] %> <% end %> </p>

<%= yield %>

</body> </html>

whats wrong with the if statement here..?

Thanks in advance, Sharma

You need to use <%= %> to get output from ERb and (as others have said) you don't use puts in templates.

You're Welcome, -Rob
