Rails - Sep 2007 - REXML - XML query only returning one (last) result

I''m really new to Ruby on Rails, and I''m trying to read an XML
file
with REXML. No matter what I try, I am only getting the last result
returned from my query. I should be getting 365 results. Here is the
code:

include REXML
require ''rexml/document''
require ''rexml/xpath''

class MakeFootprintController < ApplicationController
	def index
		file = File.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/xml/footprints.xml")
		doc = Document.new(file)
		doc.each_element(''//day'') { |day|
			render_text day
		}
	end
end

Thanks for the help.

By default, render_text sets the response body (instead of appending  
to it), so all your calls to render_text are overwriting each other,
render_text takes extra parameters that allow you to override this
Calling render_text more than once isn''t really right though. (You  
could use a partial or something).
