Hello,

I just took over some project and I noticed some odd behaviour : every image\_tag executed inside my views generate the needed code, but also append some sort of non random parameter wich I never asked for !

For example :

= image\_tag 'tables/first.png', :border =\> 0, :class =\> 'first'

will generate :

\<img border="0" id="bottom\_connexion" src="/images/tables/first.png?1268837874" /\>

!!!!!

How can I get rid of this ' ?1268837874 ' ?

Thanks,

Nicolas

I think that one is a bit confusing.

That one explains it well for me.
