# Hi, This is the “img” class for anchor element inside my stylesheet.

A.img:link {

```
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;

```

}

# A.img:visited { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; }

# I can easily apply this tag inside my html document as follows:-

# \< a href=“goodbye.html” class=“img”\>

Now I want to apply this stylesheet class (img) to following link\_to tag  
of rHtml. How to this??  
\<%= link\_to “GoodBye!”, :action =\> “goodbye” %\>

===

Please help me .  
Thanx in advance.

Braces are optional if all the following parameters are part of the  
unbraced hash…in this case, :class doesn’t belong in the same hash as  
the url\_for parameters, so you have to explicitly tell ERb where the  
hashes start and end…

Hope it helps!
