Masterview users - Feb 2007 - How to get :confirm and :post functionality with a mv:link_to?

I have a link in the form of:

<%= link_to ''Destroy'', { :action =>
''destroy'', :id => component },
:confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :post => true %>

in an application I''m converting to use Masterview. However, I
haven''t
found a way to achieve exactly this with mv:link_to. Note, that in my
original application, the :confirm and :post get converted by Rails
framework to a piece of onclick= javascript, but Masterview just adds
the :confirm and :post parameters to the link URL.

I could go through a separate destroy form/page, but I prefer it this
way, it gives direct feedback to user instead of jumping between pages.

Any hints appreciated,
	- Lea

I will take a look and see whether it is a syntax issue or defect.

Lea,

I just added a test to confirm this and it appears to work in the trunk. So
double check your syntax with the test code below and see if maybe it was a
typo.

Otherwise maybe it was something that was recently fixed. I am planning to
push out a new release today so if the below syntax does not work for you on
your version, then the new version should fix it.

  def test_link_to_with_post_and_confirm
    template = <<-END
      <div mv:generate=''foo/bar''>
        <a href="#" mv:link_to="{ :action =>
''destroy'', :id => component },
:confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :post =>
true">Destroy</a>
      </div>
    END
    expected = {
      ''foo/bar'' => "<div><%= link_to(
''Destroy'', { :action => ''destroy'', :id
=> component }, :confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :post =>
true ) %></div>"
    }
    assert_template_result expected, template
  end


Blessings,

Jeff

Duh, I had tried different combinations with the closing quotes and 
braces but apparently not the exactly correct one. So, it works now,
thanks!
