I believe that datetime_select is black magic. What I'm really trying to figure out is the whole 1i,2i,3i,4i... multiple parameters stuff. Specifically how is it handled in the back end (activerecord, something else?). What's with the 'i' after the order-number? Is it a type-specifier? If so what are other types that are available? I...

I am using xmlrpc to make a rails app communicate with an OpenX ad server. The OpenX ad server starts a session on the 1st request and associates the session with the class, not an instance of the class. The session is associated with the class, and not an instance of the class. Classes in Rails applications persist past the end of a re...
