I’ve been trying to follow the example in Railscast #74,  
[#74 Complex Forms Part 2 - RailsCasts](http://railscasts.com/episodes/74), but I get an undefined method  
‘link\_to\_function’ error. I’m using ROR 2.0. Does anyone know if  
this function has been moved to a plugin?

I didn’t think it has been removed.  
See [http://api.rubyonrails.com/](http://api.rubyonrails.com/) for more information.

It’s included in the API. I’m new to Ruby, do I have to import the  
class?

Are you trying to use the method in a view? It’s only exposed to  
views (I think) so make sure you’re not trying to use it in a  
controller or model.

That’s the most likely culprit I can think of…

When in doubt, check the Rails api online: [http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/)

Stupid me. Syntax error. Spelled it link\_to\_funtion.
