[NUBY] Rails css files?

[steven_todd_harris]

I was trying to add a css file to my view in rails and I had some
trouble
figuring out where I should put the file. Should it be somewhere under
public?
Doesn't seem to work if it's under the view directory structure with
the .rhtml file.

Yes. Everything accessible by the web browser should be in the public
dir. If you make a public/css dir and put a file called layout.css in it
you could do

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href="/css/layout.css" />

There is a folder for this purpose located at
your_project_home/public/stylesheets.
