<%= link_to “Home”, :controller => ‘home’, :action => ‘index’ %>

I need to format “Home” like make it bold, chage it color, put it in div
element…i tried putting that line in div tag but its not working…

How do I do that…

Thanks you
Raj

Did you look at the generated html? All that your code does is create an
tag. So, this should work:

<%= link_to “Home”, :controller => ‘home’, :action => ‘index’ %>

to boldface.

link_to will only generate the link - the rest is up to you:

  1. stick formatting around it
  2. make it of a particular style

Assuming you understand HTML, you should be able to extrapolate from
this example:
<%= link_to “Visit Other Site”, “http://www.rubyonrails.org/” -%>

Put this in your code and see what it generates. Hope that helps you
get started.

See:

for how link_to works, or do a search for more detail about the RoR URL
