Hi All, I am new to both Ruby and Rails, so please be patient with me. I am currently working on a view for a controller and I have used the following excerpt: <td><%= link_to_image "b_edit", :action => ''edit'', :id => part_prefix %></td> The image is being displayed and the link is working. However, the formatting of image rendered produces and thick (1 or 2px) black box around the image. Is there a method of controlling this border aroung the image, I would prefer that it be transparent? Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

That''s not a Ruby on Rails issue, but a CSS styling problem.
Use:
img {
border: 0;
}
in your CSS stylesheet.

Hi, Richard, further than the other comments that you might (and probably should out of elegancy reasons) control this behaviour with CSS. You should have a look at: http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#M000334 There you''ll find an example of specifying :border => 0 and will realise that link_to_image which is an alias to link_image_to is deprecated. Please use the notation that is exampled on the link page. Best regards Jan Prill Richard Back wrote:>Hi All, > >I am new to both Ruby and Rails, so please be patient with me.

According to the api docs: "This tag is deprecated. Combine the link_to and AssetTagHelper::image_tag yourself instead, like: link_to(image_tag("rss", :size => "30x45", :border => 0), "http:// www.example.com")" That said, you can get rid of the border by just using css: a img { border: 0; } If you only want this to apply to certain linked images, give them a class like this: link_to(image_tag("rss", :size => "30x45", :border => 0, :class => "yourclass"), "http://www.example.com") ...and then img.yourclass { border: 0; } hth, //jarkko> > Thanks in advance > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

However in the example provided they are linking to a page, will this still work with an action and controller? If so do you replace the hard link with the action and controller id strings? I still need to review the link that Jan suggested! Regards Richard -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi, Richard, yes you are combining link_to and image_tag. Therefore you''ll get the possibilities of link_to which include linking to actions: http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#M000332 Regards Jan>Thanks for the quick responce: > >I did see that the form that I was using was deprecated.
