Why does Rails generate random numbers: thing?1194897572 ??
Rails generated:
<img alt="Mediumg" height="160"
src="/images/Art/mediumg.png?
1194897572"
width="121" />
from:
<%= image_tag("/images/Art/mediumg.png", :size =>
"121x160") %>
The filename is appended with a question mark and a random number.
What''s it for? It does the same thing on link tags.
--------------
Also, is there a way to get Rails to stop generating the trailing
slash? I suspect it''s harmless but it''s not part of HTML.

It does the same thing on link tags.It''s the file timestamp; it''s appended so that proxies and browsers caches work correctly when a new version of the file is deployed. You can turn it on and off.> Also, is there a way to get Rails to stop generating the trailing > slash? I suspect it''s harmless but it''s not part of HTML.Nope.

The trailing slash IS part of xhtml. It is harmless in HTML. that is, tags without an ending in xhtml look like: <img ... /> while tags with an ending tag look like: <a href=...>something </a> this is a good thing. It means your code is xhtml (aka xml) and makes parsing it better. I suggest you write to modern standards, not 1990 ones. --Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
