Hi People, Does anyone know what the correct way of setting an attribute for an xml element is? I know how to do it, but once I try to pass data to it, it shows up as an empty element in de outputted xml. What I have now is the following: xml.InstdAmt("Ccy" => "EUR") {invoice.sum_after_tax} Which outputs: <InstdAmt Ccy="EUR"></InstdAmt> I know for sure the data is there, because when I remove the setting of the attribute it turns up. Many thanks, Danny -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Try this instead: xml.InstdAmt({ "Ccy" => "EUR" }, invoice.sum_after_tax) So if, for example the above element was a child of a root element you might have something like: xml.RootElement do xml.InstdAmt({ "Ccy" => "EUR" }, invoice.sum_after_tax) end Notice that the block is used to add the child element, which has an attribute arg (a hash) and a value arg (element contents). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
