</div>

in the header of my layout I use the following helper

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag ‘accordion.js’, ‘application.js’ %\>

but I get an error when running

Processing ApplicationController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-08-22  
23:18:47) [GET]  
Parameters: {“1249998180”=\>nil}  
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/javascripts/  
accordion.js” with {:method=\>:get}):

my javascript file is in public/javascripts/accordion.js

seems that the helper is not generating tehe correct path w /public/  
javascripts/accordion.js

is it right ?

thanks fyi

Where in the source is your javascript\_include\_tag and how does the  
actual source look?

I think it’s an environment description issue  
when being in development mode, w mongrel , I should not mention the  
sub-uri, so it goes directly to htp://localhost:3000/  
if I test with Apache mod-rails I should mention the sub-uri AND the  
asset host

I’ll test it

thanks
