Hello Ruby forum,
I''ve been looking at the other threads before posting this, but I
can''t
find a good solution to the problem I''m having.
The problem: in one of my views, I have the following code:
<% for column in BlogPost.content_columns %>
<td><%=h(simple_format(blog_post.send(column.name)))
%></td>
<% end %>
This does exactly what it''s supposed to do - it preserves the line
breaks and carriage returns entered into my text fields by adding
<p>,<br /> and suchlike. But that''s all it does. If I
entered:
"Please
have
a nice day"
into the "body" text field of my blog engine, I would get:
"Please<p> have<p> a nice day"
back (I left some HTML code out, but you get the idea).
How do I get back exactly what I entered? If you answer, would you mind
posting some code? I still haven''t seen a code example that solves this
problem. Thanks in advance!

Sorry ;) Have a look at the incoming posting. If you enter the message directly into your database, it wont have any line breaks at all. If a message comes from a textfield on your page it will contain line breaks like "\n". bye. andreas -- 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 looked at what was stored in my tables, and it looks like it has line breaks. They just don''t show up in my UI. Any insights? Thank you, onemind -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
