Hi everybody,

Well, how can I render an external url? In java, I do something like  
this:

External URL

\<jsp:include page=“[www.rubyonrails.org](http://www.rubyonrails.org)” /\>

A niave implementation would be:

\<%require ‘open-uri’%\>

\<%=open(“[http://www.rubyonrails.org](http://www.rubyonrails.org)”).read%\>

I thought having a new div including the output of the open “blind\_down”  
from the top of the page would be a cool idea.  
However, I’m not trying to debug why Firefox crashes every time I click  
on  
the link\_to\_remote that triggers the RJS template to do this 🙂
