Helper help

ruby-talk
1

I need a helper, which will render a table in my customized style.
I wrote a code like this:

template.rhtml:
<% @column_names = ["Name", "Age", "Sex"] %>
<%= table_show @column_name %>

helper.rb
def table_show(names)
  for name in names
    content_tag ( :div, name, :class => 'table_header' )
  end
end

Which should give me an output like this:
  <div class='table_header'>Name</div>
  <div class='table_header'>Age</div>
  <div class='table_header'>Sex</div>

Unfortunately I have only one line of output which looks like:
  NameAgeSex

After few trials it seems, that this output is being generated by line:
"for name in names", because deleting "content_tag..." doesn't make any
differences.

What am I doing wrong?
I suppose that helper def does treat an Array like a String...

You will probably get a better response if you ask this on the Ruby on
Rails mailing list. The Ruby-talk mailing list (and forum, and
comp.lang.ruby newsgroup) is primarily for discussion of the Ruby
language itself, not the Ruby on Rails web framework that happens to
use it.
