Rails spinoffs - Mar 2007 - page.insert_html of link_to_function return value. Problems with escaping.

Hi folks. I''m trying to do this:

a_link = link_to_function(''say_hello'') do |page|
    page.alert(''hello'')
end

@another_link = link_to_function(''add_link_to_some_div'') do
|page|
    page.insert_html(:bottom, :some_div, a_link)
end

Then I print "@another_link" on the view. When I click on it,
"a_link"
is not inserted on "some_div". If, however, I change
"a_link" to be
"white elephant", it gets added just fine. If I change the first three
lines (from the code above) to:

a_link = link_to_function(''say_hello'') do |page|
    page.alert(nil)
end

Then "a_link" gets inserted to "some_div" correctly, and
when I click
on it, I get a Js alert box. The minute I put the single quotes, it
does not get inserted.

What gives? Any ideas?
