Hello, I''ve just started using RoR this month, and am building a web
app to help me learn the framework and the ruby language.
I have a basic and hopefully straightforward question for you guys,
since I can''t seem to find the answer on the internet or in my copy of
agile.
I thought I posted this same question here yesterday but now couldn''t
find it, and was told that I''m not even in the group?? If someone
remembers seeing a similar question, please do tell, I feel like it''s
not here, but I hate it when people re-post questions so I hope I''m
not doing the same.
I have <div> tags with nested text setup in the page acting as
buttons. I would like to use these buttons with link_to and
link_to_remote. I haven''t yet figured out a way to get the generated
anchor tags to nest other page elements inside. Now I have the
buttons, but I have to click the text to get the link to work rather
than having the whole div and everything in it act as a link.
html tags:
<div class="button">
Button
</div>
I''m doing this now:
<div class="button">
<%= link_to_remote ''Button'',
:url => { :action => ''add'', :id => person },
:update => ''added_people''%>
</div>
which of course generates something like
<div class="button>
<a...
</div>
and I want
<a ....
<div.. /div>
</a>
Any suggestions?

How about a helper. If you define a helper such as. def build_button(label) content_tag(:div, "some stuff inside the button, such as #{label}", :class => :button) end Then in your view, call <%= link_to_remote build_button(''Add''), :url => etc. etc. etc %> -- http://www.5valleys.com/ http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/8078 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Jon, I''m going to keep what I have for now because I''m not sure exactly how the final version will look, but I''ll keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks again.
