Not at all - if you put raw text in you should get raw text out. (Probably UTF-8...) How long is your description field? If it's not a TEXT blob, it might truncate at 255. What do your unit tests say about the description field, and the view it constructs? > What do I need to do to get a column to display in the format > specified.

But just today I could not get a <li> to display its freaking list-style-type: disc for anything. Both Firefox and IE caught the bug. Maybe it's a lunar phase thing, and you caught it too! -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
