This looks like you are working with Rails. Rails is not Ruby. Ruby is a 
programming language; Rails is a web application framework which happens 
to be written *in* Ruby.

If you're having a problem with Rails, your best bet is to ask on a 
Rails mailing list or forum.

Without seeing the code to your shnView.label method, I couldn't say. 
But since you used shnView.label('nickname') successfully above, maybe 
shnView.label('email') is what you want.

Brian.
