Populating an array from a model with column names

I was trying to be clever, by taking some view code and stuff it into controller code.

This is what I came up with to get an array of column names, but it doesn't work the way I expect it to. The view-source shows a bunch of empty TD's , so I know it's looping through, but with no data.

Listing is a model/class

controller: @column_names = Listing.content_columns.each {|x| x.human_name}

view: <% @column_names.each do |t| %> <td> <% t %> </td> <%end%>

Any thoughts on making the column_names variable non blank?

Thanks

Try...

@column_names = Listing.content_columns.collect {|x| x.human_name}

And also...

<td> <%= t %> </td>

That didn't work either... I even restarted Webrick...
