    <p>I'm trying to make some changes to an html page encoded with charset=iso-8859-1</p> <p>doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(html_file))</p> <p>puts doc.to_html messes up all the accents in the page. So if I save it back it looks broken in the browser as well.</p> <p>I'm still on Rails 3.0.6... Any hints how to fix this problem?</p> <p>Here's one of the pages suffering from that for example: <a href="http://www.elmundo.es/accesible/elmundo/2012/03/07/solidaridad/1331108705.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.elmundo.es/accesible/elmundo/2012/03/07/solidaridad/1331108705.html</a></p> <p>I've asked also in Github but I have the feeling this will be faster. I'll update both places if I get a cure for the problem.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 1</strong> 24 March 2012</p> <p>Thanks for the comments. I managed to partially solve this issue. I believe this has nothing to do with Nokogiri however. As I mentioned in some comment I just need to open and save the file to get the accents messed up.</p> <p>The closest to a fix I got is doing this:</p> <pre><code>thefile = File.open(html_file, "r") text = thefile.read doc = Nokogiri::HTML(text) ... do any stuff with nokogiri File.open(html_file, 'w') {|f| f.write(doc.to_html) } </code></pre> <p>The original file came with iso-8859-1, the save one goes in utf-8 pretty much it looks ok. Accents are in place. Except for the access in the capital letter :-P I get question marks like in Econom�a , there should be í (i with an accent)</p> <p>Getting closer I think. If someone has a hint to cover the capital letters as well it might be almost done.</p> <p>Cheers.</p>

    1. COSimply saving `doc` to a file preserves the accents for me. How are you modifying and saving the document?

    2. COThanks John. File.open(html_file, 'w') {|f| f.write(doc.to_html) } I save it like that, no need to do changes to get the accents are messed up. The original location of the file is on my drive, not taking it from the net. I have OSX 10.6, my ruby version is 1.9.2

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
