Hello,

I have a website that I would like to insert a ROR based calendar  
into. The web page is built, I just need something like this to work:

\<%= insert\_calendar\_code %\>

I have tried a page with .html and .rhtml inside the public folder,  
but when I go to render the page, my test code:

\<%= puts “hello” %\> does not show up.

Thank you for your help.

-Anthony

That will never work and the reasons are too numerous to list. You will  
need to use an iframe of some ajax magic to pull the calendar from a  
running rails app.
