Rails - Jun 2006 - Qick Q: Expression in this Controller

I tried putting this inside my controller:

def goodbye
	@link = Link_to "goodbye!", :action =>"goodbye"
    end

and display it in my views calling the @link variable.

Of course it doesn''t work.

Why?

Thanks

You need this function in your helpers so it will be available in your 
views and then you can use as
<%= goodbye %>.

That just moves the NameError to a different place in the code. :)

Hint: ruby is case sensitive.
