Rails - Mar 2006 - Live search in Rails

Hi i''ve been trying to implement live search on rails but Im having 
trouble Im using a tutorial at:

http://www.joestelmach.com/blog/live_search_with_ruby_on_rails

But im getting a syntaxerror on line 1

''1:  <% if @items && @items.length > 0% >''

I cant fathom what im doing wrong, is that line calling a column in
my database called items?

Here''s the error

./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:1: syntax error
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:3: syntax error
  <% for domain in @items ; _erbout.concat "\n"
   ^
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:3: syntax error
  <% for domain in @items ; _erbout.concat "\n"
               ^
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:6: syntax error
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:7: syntax error
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:8: syntax error
        :action => "show", :id => domain.id ).to_s);
_erbout.concat "\n"
                          ^
./script/../config/../app/views/domain/search.rhtml:12: syntax error
 elsif @mark_term && @mark_term.length > 0 ; _erbout.concat
"\n"
      ^


Thanks

There''s an invalid space between "%" and ">":

     <% if @items && @items.length > 0 %>

Thanks that helped but got another error

compile error
./script/../config/../app/views/find/search.rhtml:6: syntax error
./script/../config/../app/views/find/search.rhtml:7: syntax error
./script/../config/../app/views/find/search.rhtml:8: syntax error
        :action => "show", :id => domain.id ).to_s);
_erbout.concat "\n"
                          ^

Extracted source (around line #6):

3:   <% for domain in @items %>
4:     <li>
5:       <%= link_to
6:         @mark_term ? highlight(domain.id, @mark_term) : h(domain.id),
7:         :controller => "domain",
8:         :action => "show", :id => domain.id %>
9:     </li>

You probably need the first argument to link_to on the same line as the
method call:

<%= link_to @mark_term ? highlight(domain.id, @mark_term) : h(domain.id),
     :controller => "domain",
     :action => "show", :id => domain.id %>

Hi Jonathan,

I''ve worked out what was wrong it was calling an action
''show'' that
didnt exist.

Thanks
