Hello everyone, Has anyone linked Rails to a report generator such as Jasper Reports (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/)?

Hi, I''m trying to convert an older Rails application to use Ajax. I''ve already moved my edit and show actions so that, instead of displaying as separate pages, they appear in a <div> on my list view.

I have designed a report using iReport 1.2.0. Some of the controls are not displaying in the HTML view of that report in Internet Explorer. But those are working fine in Firefox.

Hello; I've been playing with a nifty Open Source java based report writer called Datavision (datavision.sourceforge.net) and I've managed to write enough logic to calculate phone bills at different rates from the MySQL cdr's.

simple question: how do I output something from within <% %> tags? e.g. like ''echo'' in PHP. I thought it would be ''puts'' or ''print'' but neither seems to work. right now I always close the %> and open a <%= which is tedious. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Y si dicha solución está orientada a servidor pues mucho mejor. Respecto a
