if you use <%= then when erb compiles your template it automatically appends the result of the expression to its output buffer. If you use <% then you can still call concat to do that yourself. This was a bit confusing - in rails 3 you use <%= for form_for and for similar helpers that do actually insert content right there Fred > > Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
