Hi All I am just adding some basic e-mail notices to my Rails app using ActionMailer, and have one small issue. I want to provide a confirmation URL to users who sign up for an account.

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update?

Hi everyone I''m building an app in which quite a bit of data is dependant on dates (and times), and I have logic that depends on when ''today'' is.

I have a piece of code that "waits" for body onload. Every 30ms, it tests $(''body''). Seems that isn''t always good enough. I''ve hit situations where the DOM is "partially" loaded somehow.
