How to add a class to my anchor?

Rails
1

Hi,

I have

<%= link_to ‘Add a New Prescription’, :controller => ‘forms’, :action
=> ‘new’, :class => “sidebar2Text” %>

which is producing

Refill a
Prescription

How do I make the “class” its own attribute?

Thanks, - Dave

Dave,

Since the options hash can include any extra variables as query
parameters, you need to make sure that link_to realizes you’ve moved
from the options hash to the html_options hash… you just need to wrap
the regular options in {} like this:

<%= link_to ‘Add a New Prescription’, {:controller => ‘forms’, :action
=> ‘new’}, :cass => ‘sidebar2Text’ %>

Try this:

<%= link_to ‘Add a New Prescription’, {:controller => ‘forms’,
:action=> ‘new’}, :class => “sidebar2Text” %>

The link_to method receives 3 parameters, with your call, you were
providing just two (the hash was counting as the 2nd one), the 3th
parameter is the options hash, were you should put the HTML class.
