i''m doing some meta stuff and trying to figure out how to stick some
erb html into a proc where i can then feed it to one of many helpers.
if i do something like this:
lamb = lambda do |x|
<b> <%= x %> </b>
end
i get a syntax error because obviously the block isn''t actual code.. i
want to be able to do something like <%= html_helper("something",
&lamb) %>
any ideas?
thanks!
Stuart

nevermind.. i''m an idiot.. it works you just have to end the %> before the erb block.. duh On May 5, 3:02 pm, stewbawka <stewba...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> i''m doing some meta stuff and trying to figure out how to stick some > erb html into a proc where i can then feed it to one of many helpers. > > if i do something like this: > > lamb = lambda do |x| > <b> <%= x %> </b> > end > > i get a syntax error because obviously the block isn''t actual code.. i > want to be able to do something like <%= html_helper("something", > &lamb) %> > > any ideas? > > thanks! > > Stuart
