Item_class special?

Rails
1

I have a link_to using an extra option :item_class. It doesn’t seem to
work. When I change item_class to anything else, it renders fine. I’m
on rails 1.2.2.

<%= link_to “New”, :action => ‘new’, :my_class=>‘wibble’ %>
=> /new?my_class=wibble
<%= link_to “New”, :action => ‘new’, :item_class=>‘wibble’ %>
=>/new

Any thoughts?
