We keep getting Input/Output errors on various views. We’re running  
Webrick in production mode.

The errors look like the following:  
A ActionView::TemplateError occurred in profile#financial:

Input/output error  
On line #215 of app/views/profile/financial.rhtml

```
212: <script type="text/javascript">
213: UpdateTotal("profile_FinancialOther");
214: </script>
215: <%= field_text ("When will you be available to relocate?",

```

“profile”, “Relocate”, :maxlength =\> 50, :size =\> 40) %\>  
216:   
217:   
#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/views/profile/financial.rhtml:215:in `write’

Any ideas?

Can you post the code for the field\_text method?

Here is the code, although this is happening all over the place…I  
don’t think it has to do with this code specifically:

def field\_text (pLabel, pTable, pColumn, pAttributes)  
pAttributes.store( :autocomplete, “off” )  
output = “

#{pLabel}

”  
output += text\_field(pTable, pColumn, pAttributes)  
output += “\<div id=“validDiv\_#{pColumn}” style=“display:  
none;”\>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<img  
src=”/images/exclamation\_small\_onwhite.gif" align=“absmiddle”  
border=“0”\> \<span  
id=“inlineErrorMsgOnWhite”\>{errorMsg}
"  
output += “

”  
output  
end

Anybody else run into this problem? We’re running Webrick in production  
mode.

Thanks
