Question

I have a image here http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg and I want to display it in my Rails site. How should i do that?

Answer 1

You can also use the action view image_tag helper:

<%= image_tag 'http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg' %>

Alternatively you can just use the regular HTML tags:

ERB:

Haml:

%img{ src: "http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg" }

Slim:

img src="http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg"
