I need some advice on img\_tag()  
I checked in the console, and the file name of the image is stored  
correctly.

> > puts a.file\_name  
> > dog\_whisper\_lowres.jpg

The file is stored on the file system itself. In public/images/

However, when the page is rendered, there is a strange string appended  
to the image name in the img element, like so:  
 ![Dog_whisper_lowres](https://test.ruby-forum.com/images/dog_whisper_lowres.jpg?%0A1185178783)

My rhtml is this:  
\<%= image\_tag("/images/#{@asset.file\_name}") %\>

Am I missing something in the img\_tag function?  
I just noticed this today. The images render fine in a web browser,  
but that certainly isn’t what I want to have in my html!

Any ideas from anyone?
