UI::WebDialog => set_html => large HTML pages

Well, its no a perfect solution, when I use large html codes. So, what do you think, is the best way, to insert a large html page?
It is possible to include a full html- file? But then, I guess, I can't use some ruby vars in the html code.What's your standard solution for that "problem"?
It's not really clear to me what the "problem" is. Can you specify?

Are you trying to send variables to the webdialog?
By the way:

Oh sorry... okay, let me explain the "problem" a little bit more in detail...
I have a plugin for Sketchup and I need a formular, where I can set a lot of options. So, I'm using a WebDialog and the content is written in a string.
- advantage: I can insert some ruby variables (for example: "<input type="text" value="" + rubyVariable + """
- disadvantage: The Webdialog gets larger and larger, so the string gets larger and larger => the code gets unclear.
Now, my question is: can I write all the html code in an external file? So, normal text file, I can import with "File.open...". But then, I can't use some ruby variables in the html code.
So, for me (a more or less Ruby newby), it is not clear what's the best way to handle large WebDialogs.

Don't understand what you mean by not being able to use ruby variables...
If you compile a string with HTML and injected ruby variables, and use#set_htmlit's the same as if you wrote the same HTML to a file and used#set_file. I'm still not quite "getting it".

Write out a temp file with the compiled HTML, then use
#set_file. -

Oh, that was the perfect hint. You are right, I'm realy new to WebDialogs. So I read a lot the last few days and now, I know, my question was stupid
However, thanks for your endurance!

No worries. Just keep asking.
Btw, what are you creating?

Oh, I started a big big project...
On the one hand I love to play with my milling machine, on the other hand, I'm very interested to learn to write some Sketchup plugins.
So my project:
You can select some faces of your model, enter some dimensions of your milling tool and you get the right GCode. Now, I'm coding the userinterface of this plugin.
I hope, I can publish first beta versions in the next fex month...

hm... I wonder is there was someone else also working on generating GCodes....

There have been people talking about it in the past. I did not read any of those threads to see if anyone has some good code or a plugin for it. But there might be something there.

I think Noel was doing something. I've given him a nudge.

Thanks guys for the hints! I got a message from Noel!
