Scaffolding Results Format

Hi Everyone,

I built a scaffold and I’m having trouble getting results properly

formatted. (I need to get the data into multiple columns instead of just

one big column) I can’t get all of my CSS to work properly in

scaffold.css, layout/books.rhtml, or the books/index.rhtml.erb Anyways,

maybe you have a suggestion.

Default view (127.0.0.1:3000/books)

Title Abstract

Book One Book One Abstract Show Edit Destroy

Book Two Book Two Abstract Show Edit Destroy

Book Three Book Three Abstract Show Edit Destroy


View I would like to see displayed (127.0.0.1:3000/books):

Book One Book Two Book Three

Book One Abstract Book Two Abstract Book Three

Abstract

Show Edit Destroy Show Edit Destroy Show Edit Destroy

The presentation of the output you would like to have is very confusing

at best. For example, what does edit and destroy links do at the bottom

of each table? Do they operate on all of the entries? You might want to

clarify what you’re really trying to do with this type of structure.
