Hi, I have binary images stored in a table which I wish to encode/decode with base64 before reading into html object:

<object data="data:image/foo;base64, ..base64 data.." />.

How can I do this in RubyRails?

controller:   require 'base64'   @data = Base64.encode64(Image.find(:first).data)

view:   <object data="data:image/foo;base64,<%= @data %>>
