I''m using render to display a collection of partials, where each partial is a table row. Is it possible to zebra-stripe the table using this method i.e. alternate table rows get a different CSS class? I can''t work out how each row partial would know whether it was odd or even. In the normal scheme of things I could do: <% odd_or_even = 0 for asset in @assets

I''m a newbie to rails, and really to the whole DRY and MVC thing as well, except where I accidentally fell into things doing it my own way in the past.

But where I''m having trouble is figuring out where to

Greetings! I''m trying to update a set of records from the same model on one form. The AWD book gives an example on p.356 but I guess I''m not understanding it. I can see from the error message I''m getting that the controller is receiving a hash of hashes back from the view, and that it''s got the stuff I expected (two values per record that was sent to the

Hi: I have lines in a table I wish to stripe BUT, every now and then there is another type of line, a section header line. I''d like to be able to start the line after a section heading always as one of the two classes the cycle helper is cycling between. Is it possible? If so, how? bruce PS. I realise I could do this with ''odd_or_even'' or the %2 method (mod

hey all, I have 3 tables like this: Images (id,name) Tags (id,name) ImagesTags(imageid,tagid) in my image model I do a "has_and_belongs_to_many :tags" but to make it work I need to rename ImagesTags(imageid,tagid) to Images_Tags(image_id,tag_id). My question is that given that I can''t rename the table, is there any way to make it work with the original names? Second question:

hello there, i have been trying my hand at this rbehave material, specifically in terms of integration testing a rails application, and i am curious about the most friendly way to deal with session data. currently, the only way i have found to simulate a session is to open a session and refer to everything afterward via the @session variable stored after open_session. it seems to be workable,

Hi, I use dovecot for a long time now, but only as a single isolated server each time. I joined a company a few years back. We had trouble with compagnies hosting our mail, supposedly full redundant and so on. The company is small, but we have many dealers around the world, and it's growing. Mail became the fist choice for clients to contact the dealers. No mail, and we loose sales. For

Has anyone out there used the PipeMedia/PipeCall PSTN gateway? Anything good/bad to say about it? I'm considering using them for a new customer.

Does any one have any recommendations on an off-the-shelve PC for an Asterisk Server? This is for a proof of concept, so it needs to be inexpensive. I have tried 2 different PC's and had problems with the sound cards. I am thinking of PC's I can buy from local dealers like Best Buy, Office Depot. SO a cheap HP, Compaq or eMachine would work fine for me. --Steve
