Of course it will. He can just put the whole <td> construct in an ERb comment tag. ERb doesn't pay attention to HTML nesting. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying? Or is this an issue of multiline comments in ERb? I font think it is, but if so, then =begin or if false may be necessary. > >> You should probably be using Haml instead of ERb, though. > > Why? What failure is the OP experiencing that HAML would make succeed? Haml does have a nicer comment syntax, but I suggested it because it's generally more pleasant to work with than ERb, not due to a "failure". > (BTW, I like HAML, but it's this sort of exclamation of yours without > any supporting citations that seems to rile people - try rephrasing > along the lines of "check out HAML for a more succinct and easier to > read way of rendering your views rather than using the bundled Erb"... > or something). I and others have probably said that a hundred times in this list by now. That's why we have archives...
