hi guys,  
I have show\_image problem. I have the following code in  
application\_helper.rb in my rails project

def show\_image(src,img\_size)  
img\_options = { “src” =\> src.include?("/") ? src : “/images/#{src}” }  
img\_options[“src”] = img\_options[“src”] + “.gif” unless  
img\_options[“src”].include?(".")  
img\_options[“border”] = “0”  
img\_options[“size”] = img\_size  
tag(“img”, img\_options)  
end  
end

in my list.rhtml page I have the following code:

\<%= show\_image(“WORK2R-2\_02.gif”,“16x16”) %\>

But the second parameter is not working for me.

Is the problem in syntax?

plz make me clear.

sanjay

you can’t use the ‘size’ option with the tag helper, only with the  
image\_tag helper. the “size” option will get translated to  
height/width with image\_tag

with the tag helper, you have to give all the correct attributes, so  
use height/width options.

img\_options[“height”], img\_options[“width”] = img\_size.split(“x”)
