Hi Guys, I am trying to use Rubyful-soup for a simple webpage modification project. The issue is that when I try to display the modified html (generated by @soup.to_s) using RJS, an error pops up saying ''malformed utf-8 character''.

All, I have a little namespace collision here. I am trying to use both RubyfulSoup (an HTML parser - which I highly recommend by the way) and the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper class.

Eventually this data will be served up as RSS and/or Atom. I''m currently using html/tree (htmltools); I''ve also tried Rubyful Soup; both have their own shortcomings. What do you people suggest?

All, Rails 1.1.2 Win XP Pro Rubyful Soup 1.0.4 htmltools 1.0.9 I am terribly confused as to what pulling in a gem does with respect to how many modules get loaded at runtime. I am using two gems in my app, Rubyful Soup and htmltools. RubyfulSoup requires one module from the htmltools gem (html/sgml-parser). My app requires the R...

I have a piece of data that needs to persist across requests that is not serializable. It''s a Rubyful soup parse tree and it''s very expensive to instantiate and I need it for a while in my app. Therefore, by default, it can''t be stored in the session since the default session storage mechanism is pstore.
