Views Challenge

Hola Good People! Going a bit nuts over the 'Views' Code Challenge: "Loop through our statuses array in an ERB template. Assume we have statuses set up as an array and want to print out the name." It then give us : <% @statuses.each do |status| %> Name: <br /> <% end %> I am very much confused with this video and code challenge. Also, the 'Name: <br />' seems irrelevant and was not mentioned at all in the video. Any ideas? Instead of a direct answer, I'd appreciate hints instead-Make my brain work a bit more.:) Cheers folks;) Dan (P.S, Having problems with 'Enter' not working, hence the long-ass'd paragraphs:S)

So after a bit of trial and error, I passed the challenge with the following: <% @statuses.each do |status| %> Name: <%= status.name %> <br /> <% end %>

So am I simply just inserting the value of 'Name:' to make this work? I'm 90% sure:)

No worries shipmate. I've had to take a step back with this course at the moment. It feels a bit like a 'just copy this' exercise. I think the progression of the Web Developer Track is very good up until this point. The first Ruby Project appears to rise very quickly in it's complexity. I'm still waiting to hear back on whether we should be diving into Ruby Foundations before the first Project. What do you reckon?:)

I agree. I skipped light years ahead of where I am.
