Coupla thoughts…

  1. Rails may need you to use braces to parse that correctly.
    e.g., link_to ‘item’, {:action=>‘show’,:id=>@item+’#item’}

  2. Rails may have trouble with ‘#’ as part of a symbol.

What’s the full string you’re getting back in params[:id] ? That might
shed
some light.

hth,

One more clue…

The ascii hex value for ‘#’ is 23
