I would like to call an image to be displayed based on its title. It is  
easy enough for me to do this like this:

![](https://www.ruby-forum.com/images/suggested/<%=%20suggested.title%20%>)

But I want to stick within the ruby code and I’m trying this:

\<%= image\_tag("/images/suggested/\<%= suggested.title %\>", size=\>  
“100x100”) %\>

but its not working.

Anything i’m missing? Any better alternatives?

Thanks!

mason

> \<%= image\_tag("/images/suggested/#{suggested.title}", size=\>  
> “100x100”) %\>

will work
