RUBY on RAILS is just TOOO FREAKING EASY.

I keep forgetting how easy stuff is to do,  
and keep trying to look for more piece’s to the  
puzzles. I keep trying to make it harder then it is.

I keep thinking I need to ask for help, and I don’t need it.  
I did dynamic menu’s in less then 5 min, after some guy  
let me know how how easy it is, again. :)))))  
Helper files rock.

I am still waiting to do my XML files.  
And RUBY said, “she don’t want them.”

Anybody wanna buy my used JAR’s?

Could you possibly point me to a link that describes this easy  
technique for doing dynamic menus that you are talking about? Thanks.

i will write up what to do, and how, with the code, and blog it,  
this evening.

i will also add some places to get pure css menu’s (if somebody needs  
that.)

I know the feeling. I do the same thing. I was working on something  
the other night and was thinking through this convoluted algorithm to  
perform this task, and then I stopped and thought, “Surely there is  
an easy, Ruby way to do this”. And there was. A one-liner. When I  
got it working, I even let out an “That’s cool!”

Peace,
