Variable in input's value string

Question

I'm trying to add a variable(Post title) to my string for my input text field's value.

I just get to see #{@post.title} though, instead of the true title.

What am I doing wrong?

In my form.html.erb:

<%= f.text_field :title, :value => 'Enquiry about post #{@post.title}' %>

You're not using the right quotes, you need to use double quotes " for string interpolation:

<%= f.text_field :title, :value => "Enquiry about post #{@post.title}" %>

Please find some further information on Interpolation at wikibooks.
