Hi, We are thinking about choosing Rails as our weapon of choice for our next project, which is basically a text editor on steroids, whith some functionality that need an Internet connection. In the first step we are going to develop it as a plain web app (AJAX-ified, yay!), however, in the next step we would like to port some of the functionality (such as the editor) to a desktop app (which can be used without Internet connectivity). I''ve read about XUL and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of "converting" a Rails project to the desktop using XUL, and keeping Rails as a backend? Or maybe there''s a better tool than XUL? Best regards and thanks for any help, Gustav -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I was wondering whether someone could show me how to dynamically set the the ''id'' attribute in the ''body'' tag. I would like to set the id to controller name (in lowercase) using embedded ruby. <body id="xxxx"> </body> cheers </jima> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

There is project cookbooxul as proof of concept XUL <-> rails by Zed Shaw. http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/cookbooxul/index.html Just to warn, download links are not good. I know that I have tried this online and seems to me as a really interesting concept.

thxs Rimantas. Just tried it and it works a treat. So basically i can place <%= %> expression anywhere within quotes and it will get evaluated before generating the XHTML. cheers </jima> Rimantas Liubertas wrote:>> I was wondering whether someone could show me how to dynamically set the >> the ''id'' attribute in the ''body'' tag.

In templates you can use ERB wherever you need. You may want to read ERB section here http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Base.html and also "Recognized tags" http://stdlib.rubyonrails.org/libdoc/erb/rdoc/classes/ERB.html This should give you a general idea, how it works. Keep in mind that second link is to the general documentation of ERB, not rails specific.
