You’ll need to provide more detail.

How are you loading/rendering the rhtml file? How are you setting  
template variables? Are you restarting your application each time you  
test a change?

I agree on point #2, but I thought .rhtml wasn’t necessarily Rails  
specific,  
but specific to Erb.

1. You’ve got the wrong list. There’s a specific Ruby on Rails list.
2. It’s discourteous to ask people to reply off list where future  
newbies can’t read how to solve the same problem. If you want help,  
post the relevant material.

It’s a Rails app. I was E-mailed offlist.

The actual issue may be independent of Rails, but the lack of details  
doesn’t help any.
