Simple View Template Question

I'm trying to render a list of div's with ids "item1", "item2", "item3", etc.. Trying to do it like this:

<% for i in 0...@items.size %>

<div id="item<%= i %>" > .. blah blah .. </div>

<% end %>

Pretty sure the syntax is wrong. I couldn't find the answer after googling for a bit - perhaps I'm too new and dont know where to look.

Help please?

<% @items.each do |item| %>

<%= item.record-name %> 
</div> <% end %>

I think it goes model.method action |table| tuple.relvar.

I took the logic from here

http://guides.rails.info/getting_started.html#rest

and applied the solution for post to your problem.

I’m a newbian refuge as well.

What is the problem that you see?

If you're specifically after "item1" rather than "item<item.id>", then you can use "each_with_index":

<% @items.each_with_index do |item, index| %>   <div class="item<%= index+1 %>">     <%= item.record-name %>   </div> <% end %>

I realized I just typed the quotes wrong. Sorry! Though thanks for the replies, especially @angel and @Michael Pavling, those are really helpful suggestions. :slight_smile:
