Hi: <%=h (Time.now - task.created_on) %><br /> is what I''ve got in my view, pretty simple. It yields a floating point number. Trick is - how do I convert that to what I want? I search and searched and didn''t find any help becuase it''s floating point. What I what is to be able to display in Days, hours, seconds format. So, it should ready: 14 days, 10 hours, 32 seconds ago. I also tried strftime and it didn''t work becuase it was floating point. Or it didn''t work becuase of the way I was using it. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
