I had the following in a .rhtml file that I was using for a Rails view. The time in one hour will be <%= 1.hour.from_now %> This worked fine. Then I decided I wanted to comment that out temporarily so I changed the line to this. <!-- The time in one hour will be <%= 1.hour.from_now %--> It complains that I have an unterminated string. Does ERb not know how to parse HTML comments? -- R. Mark Volkmann Partner, Object Computing, Inc.
