Folks,

I’ve been trying to get a number of variations of the following line  
of template code to work:  
\<%= link\_to ‘Show contact details’, :controller =\> ‘people’, :action  
=\> ‘show’, :class =\> ‘actionLink’, :id =\> person %\>

I’ve tied putting curlies around the controller and action as well as  
the class, but I haven’t got it to work. I’ve found some variations  
that will render the css class, but not the query parameter.

Thanks,  
Scott

Doh! Figured it out:

\<%= link\_to ‘Show contact details’, {:controller =\> ‘people’, :action  
=\> ‘show’, :id =\> person}, {:class =\> ‘actionLink’} %\>
