Hello, Earlier in my rails application, I was using the convention of writing the following to refer to templates and/or views in the view folder. "./blah/blah" But in the Edge rail, it doesn''t work and the page doesn''t shows any output there is no error in the development log as well. But changing the above to "/blah/blah" seems to fix things. Was I wrong in using the earlier convention or is something else amiss?

So, if your view is in a folder ''home'' then Rails, will assume that ''blah/blah'' points to home/blah/blah -- Surendra Singhi http://ssinghi.kreeti.com, http://www.kreeti.com ,---- | "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." | -- Orwell, Animal Farm, 1945 `----
