I’m trying to render a list of div’s with ids “item1”, “item2”, “item3”,  
etc…  
Trying to do it like this:

\<% for i in removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid %\>

.. blah blah ..

\<% end %\>

Pretty sure the syntax is wrong. I couldn’t find the answer after  
googling for a bit - perhaps I’m too new and dont know where to look.

Help please?

</div>

\<% @items.each do |item| %\>

  
\<%= item.record-name %\>

 \<% end %\>

I think it goes model.method action |table| tuple.relvar.  
I took the logic from here

If you’re specifically after “item1” rather than “item\<item.id\>”, then  
you can use “each\_with\_index”:

\<% @items.each\_with\_index do |item, index| %\>

 \<%= item.record-name %\> 
\<% end %\>

I realized I just typed the quotes wrong. Sorry!  
Though thanks for the replies, especially @angel and @Michael P.,  
those are really helpful suggestions. 🙂
