The error says that the source is The source of your template was: C:/Rails/app/views/pages/wir.html.erb, which has the following text: # encoding: UTF-8 <h1>Wir</h1> <p> <%= image_tag("raum.jpg", :alt => "Studio Logo", :class => "round") %> <%= image_tag("willkommen.png", :alt => "Studio Logo", :class => "round") %> <% balance hei�t der neue Raum f�r ... %> So I did put ''# encoding: UTF-8'' at the top of that file (as you can see above.

I guess the file encoding and comment specified in the "magic comment" must match. jEdit is a text editor I know of with very good encoding support.

I don''t understand exactly what you mean by ''editor support UTF-8?'', I can type those characters ä,ü,..., and how is it related to the problem I have with the program ?. Would appreciate any help.

You should be saving the file with the UTF-8 encoding. Your editor should provide a feature to set the encoding. If it does not, get a different editor.> and how is it related to the problem I > have with the program ?.Simple: if the encoding is different from what Rails expects, then the characters will come out incorrectly. An encoding is simply a mapping that says "when you see 0x0041, that represents ''A''." Files are just stored as byte sequences, so both the reader and writer have to know what the encoding is in order to make sense out of the file. If this is hard to understand, you need to review some basic information about text encodings.> Would appreciate any help. > > DaniBest, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
