I’m having a strange problem with webrick spinning forever. I have a  
view ‘list’ that renders a collection:

\<%= render :partial =\> ‘item’, :collection =\> @items %\>

The item partial looks like so:

 ... 
 \<%= in\_place\_editor\_field :item, :price %\> 

If I delete the in\_place\_editor line the page will render. If I leave  
it there webrick will spin indefinitely, but will never print anything  
to the console or to the log. I’d run lighttpd but am having library  
path issues with that I"d prefer not to address right now. Webrick  
_should_ work here.

Thanks for any insight you can provide,

Hmm, I was able to work around this by running webrick in production  
mode.

One other caveat, to get in\_place\_editor\_field to work, I had to  
modify it to read:

\<%= @item = item; in\_place\_editor :item, :price %\>

Luckily I was able to find an allusion to having to do this in  
partials on this list (god bless gmail search).

Thanks,
