hi all,
using rails 1.2.3 on windows xp
i have a controller method like so:
def index ...do stuff... if some_error flash[:notice] = "error!" end end
and the layout has: <% if flash[:notice] -%> <div class="flash"><%= flash[:notice] %></div> <% end -%>
the form for index submits via GET method. if i cause the some_error condition through the form, i get the flash message as expected. however, if i immediately submit again with conditions that do not cause some_error, i still get the flash message again. it takes until submitting a third time for the flash message to clear. isn't it supposed to clear itself after it renders the first time in the layout? i know i'm not setting it again because i have a debug statement when it gets set in the controller.
