I think the first doublequote around "red" is terminating the string in the
first part of your ? : expresion. If it were me, I'd verbose that out some:
<% if @tour_request.booked_datetime then %>
<p>
<span class="label">Confirmed For:</span>
<%= @tour_request.booked_datetime %>
</p>
<% else %>
<p>
<span class="label">Date and time requested:</span>
<%= @tour_request.daterequested %>
</p>
<% end %>
That way you're not so much mixing the markup & the ruby, which always winds up
confusing me.
Also--having .booked_datetime and .booked_datetime_string methods seems
odd--consider writing a format_date helper to use to make dates pretty if you
need to get fancy.

Subject: [Rails] Styling rails elements
I'm having some trouble with styling my views.
Here is a particular snippet that I think illustrates well:
<p><%= @tour_request.booked_datetime ? "<strong>Confirmed For:</strong> <span
class="red">#...@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</span>
":"<strong>Date and time requested:</strong> #...@tour_request.daterequested} |
#...@tour_request.preferredtime_string}
<strong>Alternative date and time requested:</strong>
#...@tour_request.altdaterequested} #...@tour_request.preferredtime_string}"
%></p>
That will prevent the page from loading, showing a custom error screen.
But this, will display fine:
<p><%= @tour_request.booked_datetime ? "<strong>Confirmed For:</strong>
<strong>#...@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</strong> ":"<strong>Date and
time requested:</strong> #...@tour_request.daterequested} |
#...@tour_request.preferredtime_string} <strong>Alternative date and time
requested:</strong> #...@tour_request.altdaterequested}
#...@tour_request.preferredtime_string}" %></p>
The only difference is on the first example I had <span
class="red">#...@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</span> and the second I
had <strong>#...@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</strong>
I know I could just do <span class="red"><%=
@tour_request.booked_datetime_string %> but this field won't always be
displaying, so I need to find a way to make whichever that particular tour has
filled out showing, whether it's booked_datetime_string,
tour_request.daterequested, preferredtime_string or altdaterequested
Would appreciate any help!
