I wanted to do something like this:
<%= borderless_table do %>
Something inside a cell
<%= end %>
def borderless_table
%Q(
<table class=''borderless''>
<tr>
<td>
#{ yield }
</td>
</tr>
</table>)
end
... but I quickly discovered that erb doesn''t like that:
(erb):55: syntax error
_erbout.concat(( borderless_table() do ).to_s); _erbout.concat "\n"
^
Is there some way around this? I''d love to be able to make blocks
work as beautifully as that in my helpers.
Thanks,
Duane Johnson

Also, make sure that you define your method before you try to use it (top of the ERB file, or elsewhere) not after.
