Outputing to the browser, how?

Hello, I'm writting some helper methods to write forms, so I have this working code: class TableFormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder   ["file_field", "password_field", "text_field"].each do |name|     define_method(name) do |label, *args|       @template.content_tag(:tr,         @template.content_tag(:td,           @template.content_tag(:label, label.to_s.humanize)) +         @template.content_tag(:td, super))     end   end end

From the documentation of content_tag, I see it has two styles: content_tag(tag, content) or <% content_tag(tag) do %>content<% end %>

I'd like to use the second style, but I'm not in a view, so, how do I output to the browser the same way a view does?

Or asking in another way, how do I make this work:

class TableFormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder   ["file_field", "password_field", "text_field"].each do |name|     define_method(name) do |label, *args|       @template.content_tag(:tr) do         @template.content_tag(:td) do           @template.content_tag(:label, label.to_s.humanize)         end

this is a known bug/inconsistency. see here: <http:// dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7857>

wait for rails 1.2.4 to make it more sensible or patch it yourself.

greetings, Phil
