Well thanks Matt for waiting until I had spent the afternoon re-writing my code to use instance variables (just kidding). Actually, having no professional web dev experience, it occurred to me that maybe this is what cookies would be good for*. At any rate, I was probably jumping the gun a little (or getting derailed, haha) in my ambitions for learning project #1. I just googled "Ruby on Rails session variable" and found virtually no info, so I still don't know what this refers to. It does not come up in the searchable API either, but I imagine they are in there -- can anyone point me to the spot? Otherwise I will just have to wait for the books I requested at the library to roll in next week... thanks again and in advance, MK *Page caching is definitely not the thing. I need to keep track of what has happened on the page -- ie, all the relevant data is there in front of the user. KEY QUESTION: Where would I start if I wanted to grab and parse the "raw" page in it's current state? I was also thinking I could keep a hidden form, but the former (parse the page) would be preferable if possible. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
