Hello,

Is there any configuration in Rails 3 since it destroy my HTML when i  
try to print something out ?

Example:

\<%= navigation [{:users =\> admin\_users\_path}] %\>

\<li class=""\>\<a href="/admin/users"\>users\</a\>\</li\>

I have taken those from view source, why is this happening in Rails 3?

I’m missing something out?

Thanks.

what is navigation??? because i bet is not an object, so rails thinks is  
html and is scaping it, if navigation is text the way to do it is

\<%=“navigation #{:users =\> admin\_users\_path}”%\>

are you using simple navigation ?? in that case navigation [{:users =\>  
admin\_users\_path}] is a method but it looks like the gem is not rails 3  
ready

go to [http://www.railsplugins.org/](http://www.railsplugins.org/) and see if the gem/plugin is rails 3  
ready

Sounds like you should read about the xss protection that is in rails  
3 (and rails 2.3.6 if my memory is correct) - rails knows about  
strings that should be escaped and strings that shouldn’t, if you  
write your own view helpers you occasionally need to tell rails that a  
string is safe so that it doesn’t escape it for you

Looks like there’s a beta of that plugin that might work with Rails 3.
