Subject: Attribute Access Problems


Im just not getting this !

What am I doing wrong here, this is taking way to long :-(

c:/dev/cgi-bin/Project.rb:80:in `DisplayProject': undefined method
`projectName' for #<Project:0x25dfae0> (NameError)

im now using instance variables


def projectName=(val)
		@projectName = val if val
		return @projectName
end

but its failing in my here document 

<tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="code"
value="#{self.projectName}"></td></tr>

I have defined the method so it should return nil if the instance variable
has not been assigned a value and therefore the html should be interpolated
to

<tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="code" value=""></td></tr>


aaaagh, maybe perl's OO way is getting me into trouble here :-)
