I have the following method to deliver an xml response:

def xslt\_layout  
@ticket = Ticket.find\_by\_id(params[:id])  
render :text =\> “#{@ticket.xml}”, :layout =\> false, :filename =\> “#  
{@ticket.ticket\_number}.xml”, :content\_type =\> “application/xml”  
end

The xml is generated using Builder as a Ticket model method and has  
both camel case and upper case element names in it.  
Inspecting the xml using a script/console query shows the tag names in  
the correct case, but the Rails stack is converting them to lowercase  
e.g. becomes

How can I prevent this behaviour?

Problem solved - it’s the Safari DOM inspector that’s doing it.
