Rails - Apr 2006 - outputing table data

Hi,

Just come across thi sproblem, and jsut cant find out what is wrong with 
it, if any one has any suggestions it would be good.

in my projects_controller.rb I have

def list
    @project_pages, @projects = paginate :projects, :per_page => 10
end

and ths list.rhtml file I have

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Actions</th>
    </tr>
    <% if @projects %>
	    <% for project in @projects %>
		    <tr>
		       <td><% project.name %></td>
		       <td>
			<%= link_to ''Show'', :action =>
''show'', :id => project %>
			<%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
''edit'', :id => project %>
		       </td>
	       </tr>
	    <%end%>
    <%end%>
</table>

When I view this page the project.name column in the table appears 
blank, however the show and edit links work correctly.

Any suggestions to whats going wrong?

thanks

ok i have fixed this by adding <%=h instead of <% not to sure what this 
does, (apart form make it work!!) so if anyone knows please let me know

h() is short for html_escape() - it turns html text like:
<b>word</b>
into:
&lt;b&gt;word&lt;/b&gt;
meaning that the rendered text will show as <b>word</b> rather than
than
''word'' in bold.

Hope that makes sense :0)
