The most (and i'd say only) useful aspect of content_tag is the ability to iterate over a collection: <%= content_tag_for(:tr, @people) do |person| %> <td><%= person.first_name %></td> <td><%= person.last_name %></td> <% end %> which produces items with a predictable id and class. <tr id="person_123" class="person">...</tr> <tr id="person_124" class="person">...</tr> see doc: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/RecordTagHelper.html#method-i-content_tag_for But in most cases where you just need standard tags, you should plain ol' html because it's much easier to maintain. <h1><%= @person.name %></h1> is better than <%= content_tag :h1, @person.name %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
