Question

I have a simple page that displays some ‘Games’.

Heres the code:

<ul>
    <%= @tvshow.games.each do |game| %>
    <li><%= game.gameTitle %></li>
    <% end %>
</ul>

It displays like this:

The All-Syrup Squishee
#<Game:0xb6783820>

With the #Game tag coming AFTER the list item but before the closing list tag. Any idea why it’s showing up or how I could get rid of it?

Answer 1

<%= outputs the result as markup, in this case an instance of the Game class.

For this kind of loop you want to use <% which executes some code but does not produce markup.

Edit line 2 to read <% @tvshow.games.each do |game| %>
