How to display the list of children as links under their respective parent

Rails

Hey…Does nybody know how to display a list(array) as links
Eg: I’ve a @products and @categories enumerable objects supplied to the
view
from a single CategoryController …
I want to show the products under their respective categories as links
and
get rid of the separate show page for displaying products list…

I was able to get the categories links working as expected… but
products
name appear simply as plain text…
<% @categories.each do |cat| %>

<%= link_to( cat.name, cat) %>
<%= cat.products.collect { |c| c.name
}
%> ####-----I need links Here!!!
<% end %>
…But if I put link_to inside the cat.products.collect { |c| link_to
c.name,
c }, I get the html escaped text for links inside the[…]

Category and Product models have has_many_through relationship…

How to go about this…???

               <tr><td> <%= link_to h(product.name), product%></td></tr>

                            <% end %>

         <% end %>

Since it’s a list of a category’s products, it would be more semantic
to use a

    element rather than lots of rows in the table though.
    Oh, and BTW - you’ll want to html escape the category name too…
    <%= link_to h(cat.name), cat %>
