Hello, I''m trying to set up my global layout (application.rhtml) and have followed a simple XHTML set up with the <%= yield%> for content. My application.rhtml starts off with <!DOCTYPE ... etc. But when I look at a view that should be using this layout in a browser, I see (in Firefox), ?? ?<?!?D?O?C?T?Y?P?E? ... etc. all throughout the entire file. I tried erasing all content from the file and still ended up with two ?s being displayed. IE7 doesn''t show this (it shows the expected markup, but does not show the content that should be placed in the ''yield'' section. It doesn''t seem to be a problem with the view understanding what layout to use, as I''m seeing the layout (sort of). Any ideas?

Hi Tony, Tony Tallmadge wrote: It does appear from what''s being rendered that there could be something wrong with application.rhtml, but nothing jumps out at me. Have you looked at the page source to see what''s being rendered? Your view, on the other hand ...> (1)The view: > \app\views\roster_team\index.rhtml > > <div> > <%a = RosterTeam.find_by_season(1, :conditions => [''nameCodeTeam > ?'',''MEXI''])%>This find should be moved into your controller section and the result assigned to an instance variable (e.g., @a) which can be used here. I have a sneaking suspicion that your choice of ''a'' as a variable name may be part of the problem too. Rails'' rendering engine logic may be having trouble with ''<%a'', potentially mixing it with processing for ''<a''. Just a guess, but changing it would be easy and might yield some different results. Also, you can use more than one condition in your find_by_ . At any rate, in your controller I''d suggest something like... @teama= RosterTeam.find_by_season_and_nameCodeTeam(1, ''MEXT'')> <%="Team code name = " + a.nameCodeTeam%><br />If your intent here is to print out the "Team season =" and then the value of a.season, use Teams season = <%= @teama.season.to_s %> Anything the Rails finds in your views or layouts that''s not inside <%= %> or <% %> simply gets passed through. Same comment for the other lines here. Same pattern for team b. I''m not sure why you''re doing two separate finds, rather than one find with an ''or'' condition on the name, but that''s a different question. Your finds should be in your controller with the results assigned to instance variables. Key to solving your problem, I think, is a quick look at the page souce being generated. If the problem''s in application.rhtml like you think, some or all of the tags that appear in that file will be screwed up. If it''s in your view file, then those tags will be fine and the content inside your globalLayout div will show problems. hth, Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

> you may be saving as "Unicode".Jimmy, that was the issue - thank you. I have been getting my feet wet with RoR and was trying to use a freeware editor called ConTEXT, which apparently has no ability to save as UTF-8 (or at least the functionality is not readily apparent to me). I popped the application.rhtml file into Notepad and now all is blissful. Bill, thanks for digging into the question further than the immediate issue. It''s very helpful to get tips from experienced users. Any recommendations on a good editor for RoR (on the fee scale of free to relatively cheap)?

Any > recommendations on a good editor for RoR (on the fee scale of free to > relatively cheap)?You''re welcome. The problem/solution Jimmy identified didn''t occur to me. Never run into it myself, but now I''ll know to watch out for it. I use TextPad for a Windows editor ( http://www.textpad.com/download/index.html ). It''s a free trial that, past the trial period, throws up a dialog asking if you''re ready to buy or want to continue evaluation. You don''t have to ever buy, but it''s only $32 US if you want to. You might also want to try out Scite ( http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html ) which is straight freeware and also runs on Redhat Linux. It''s included as part of the Instant Rails distribution. There are others, of course, but those are the ones I''m most familiar with. hth, Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
