I am getting an error incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8 when I try to render a partial view for the children objects of a main object''s edit page. This is the controller method : def update @display_treatment = [ {"exam type"=>"treatmenttype"} , {"preparation comments"=>"preparation"}, {"preparation nature"=>"natureprep"} , {"reference cut"=>"refCoupe"}, {"author"=>"author"}, ] @echantillon = Echantillon.find(params[:id]) @treatments = Treatment.find(:all, :conditions => [''echantillon_id = ?'', @echantillon.id]) respond_to do |format| if @echantillon.update_attributes(params[:echantillon]) flash[:notice] = ''Echantillon was successfully updated.'' format.html { redirect_to(@echantillon) } format.xml { head :ok } else format.html { render :action => "edit" } format.xml { render :xml => @echantillon.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end and this is in the edit view: <%= render :partial => ''treatmentupdate'', :locals => {:treatments => @echantillon.treatments} %> and this is the partial: <% @i = 1 %> <% for treatment in @treatments %> <tr><td colspan="2"><h2>Traitement <%= @i %> </h2></td></tr> <% fields_for "echantillon[treatment_attributes_updates][]", treatment do |treatment_form|%> <% for c in @display_treatment %> <tr> <td class ="name"> <%= c.first.first %> : </td><td></td><td><%text_field :treatment, c.first.second, :value => treatment[c.first.second] %></td> <td></td> </tr> <% end %> <tr><td colspan="3"><hr/></td></tr> <% end %> <% @i = @i + 1 %> <% end %> I am getting the error on this line: <td class ="name"> <%= c.first.first %> : </td><td></td><td><%text_field :treatment, c.first.second, :value => treatment[c.first.second] %></td> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
