Is there a way I can read the user agent or something similar to determine whether the person is using IE, Mozilla/Netscape, Opera, Safari, etc? I want to dynamically output the CSS to the browser, but I''d like to change certain things (in this case the widths of some divs since IE adds borders and padding size to the total size of a div unlike firefox).

...er EVERY change to the file. The controllers and views are reloading just fine and not being cached. It''s just the custom class I created that''s being cached.

Is there a place where I can put a method that can be accessed in both views and controllers? Here''s the situation, maybe someone can suggest a better way to go about this: I created my own custom login system with email verification and user roles (basically, I tinkered around with SaltedHashLoginGenerator until I finally gave up and wrote my own). One role, of course, is an admin

Can I do any "fancy" conditionals when using the Pagination helper? The problem is that I want to be able to specify a conditional based on the criteria of a parent object. Here''s an example: Object A has_many Object B''s I want to paginate through 100 B''s but I *only* want it to return the ones who''s A.flag = true I poked around through the Wiki

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create

During a load or save in my controller I''ve manually been doing: @myobject = MyObject.find(:first, :conditions => "id = #{@params[''id'']}") If I''m updating an existing object I load it, change stuff using something like myobject.name = "@params[''name'']", etc etc, then call save.

Ok, I''m hoping this won''t be a forehead slapper, but take a look at this code: physician.name.sub(/''/, "\\''") I''m trying to substitute a single quote with a backslash and a single quote.
