Question

The following returns whatever integer I feed it as a parameter.

  def space(spacer_count)
    spacer_count.times do
      image_tag("24gray/spacer.png", :class => "spacer")
    end
  end

How do I make it return the desired number of images? E.g., I want space(6) to return six copies of spacer.png, not the number “6”.

Thanks!

If you want to return a single string containing all the <img> tags, then you can do the following:

def space(spacer_count)
  image_tag("24gray/spacer.png", :class => "spacer") * spacer_count    
end
