Trying to figure out generating html in controller

Jedrin · May 24, 2011, 7:16pm

So I have some old code that used to work and I am trying to resurrect it.

The controller has this:

@content="" for i in 0..w.size @content = @content + " #{w[i]} " end @content = "<div style=\"font-size:100;color:blue;\">" + @content + "</div>"

@txt_divs = "" for i in 0..5 span = "" for j in 0..10 span = "#{span} </

"

end div = "<div> #{span} </div>" @txt_divs << div << "\n" end

In the view I then do this:

<%= @content%>

<%= @txt_divs %>

but what's get generated is this as literal text and not what I wanted or what used to work:

<div style="font-size:100;color:blue;"> Free Spirit Boston </div>

In the view I then do this:

<%= @content%>

<%= @txt_divs %>

<%= raw @content %>

Seems like you should move that into the view if you can though...

Additionally, as you take Philip’s suggestion, you ought to consider the power of using partials:

Specifically, check out section 3.4.5, “Rendering Collections”
