Hello

I wonder why this happens:

this:

\<%= link\_to\_function image\_tag(“chart\_bar.png”), :onclick=\>“new  
Effect.toggle(‘bar-project#{project.id}’)” %\>

outputs this:

a href="#" onclick=“onclicknew Effect.toggle(‘bar-project188’); return  
false;”\> ![Chart_bar](https://test.ruby-forum.com/images/chart_bar.png?1142196636)

the link\_to\_funtions returns twice onclick hence it will not work.  
please help

I think you want this instead:

\<%= link\_to\_function image\_tag(“chart\_bar.png”), “new  
Effect.toggle(‘bar-project#{project.id}’)” %\>
