I have a link\_to using an extra option :item\_class. It doesn’t seem to  
work. When I change item\_class to anything else, it renders fine. I’m  
on rails 1.2.2.

\<%= link\_to “New”, :action =\> ‘new’, :my\_class=\>‘wibble’ %\>  
=\> /new?my\_class=wibble  
\<%= link\_to “New”, :action =\> ‘new’, :item\_class=\>‘wibble’ %\>  
=\>/new

Any thoughts?
