iFrame and routes

I have the following haml line:   %iframe{'id' => main3Wrap_iframe,           'src' => "/documentation/Marketing Overview - Ralph 011.htm",           'width' => '100%', 'height' => "550"}

(main3Wrap_iframe is properly defined.)

When I attempt to run this, RoR complains that   Routing Error

  No route matches "/documentation        /Marketing%20Overview%20-%20Ralph%20011.htm" with {:method=>:get}

I have no   class DocumentationController because I don't want one.

How do I tell RoR that the name associated with the key "src" is not to be run through routing?

By putting the file in your_app/public/documentation. Then your link will find it.

While this works, it sorta doesn't answer the question.

Let's say that the document is in /documentation (not /public/documentation), how do I tell RoR to look there instead of in   /public/documentation?

You can't, once it gets to rails it is too late. Rails cannot access random locations on your server (nor would you wish it to). If you want to serve up stuff from somewhere such as /documentation then you would have to setup your web server appropriately so that it handles it before it gets to Rails. Not that you would want your web server picking up stuff from /documentation either.

Hi, I'm looking for answers for the same problem.... and the solution therfore is?

=> maybe read the file in the server and create it as a tmp file in public/

¿Is this a correct solution?

Ok, lets begin, I'm newest, sorry because this is a low level question:

If I have this, and of course I've saved before, this file in public dir

<iframe src="public/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf"></iframe>

¿Why doesn't work?

* this is called from "firmas" controller and "mostrar_pdf" action

=>the iframe says, if i have Javascript:    No route matches "/firmas/public/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf"

=>and, if i haven't:    No route matches "/mostrar_pdf/public/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf"

thanks a lot

if it is in the public folder of your app then you just want src="/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf".

Ok, don't panicm another wat to make the question:

id DreamWeaver i can do:

<iframe src="file:///C:/druby/gestorweb/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf"></iframe>

but in a ruby form (_frame_pdf.html.erb) i Can not do the same <iframe src="file:///C:/druby/gestorweb/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf"></iframe>

If i inspect FireBug i get:

"try { Element.update("frame_oc", " <iframe src=\"file:///C:/druby/gestorweb/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf\"></iframe>\n"); } catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString()); alert('Element.update(\"frame_oc\", \" <iframe src=\\\"file:///C:/druby/gestorweb/6465_p_61_620_15674.pdf\\\"></iframe>\\n\");'); throw e }"

As I said in an earlier post in the thread, you can't unless you setup your server (apache or whatever) to serve up these files in some way. Otherwise you must put them under the public folder.

No idea sorry, I think you would have to ask that on a Mongrel list. It is not a Rails question.
