Rails ERB view syntax issue

Question

I apparently can't get the syntax proper here:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" background="<%= #{Rails.root}/app/assets/images/image.png %>">

What's the appropriate way to do this?

Answer 1

UPDATE:

Answer below shows correct syntax, but to display image path it is better to use @TomFeaks answer.

try this:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" background="<%= "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/images/image.png" %>">
