Rails - Feb 2008 - HAML: %li{:class => 'current' if page == 2} does not work?

Hi all

I''m iterating over navigation page links using HAML. I want to assign
the current page''s link the CSS class .current trying to use:

%li{:class => ''current'' if params[:page] == i}

Sadly this doesn''t work. How can I achieve the wanted result?

Thanks for help,
Josh

params are always returned as strings. Use params[:page].to_i == i or  
params[:page] == i.to_s. See if that works.

Thanks, but I guess I wasn''t specific enough. ;-)

My problem is that HAML throws an error when having an "if" statement 
within %li{...}. Isn''t it allowed to use them?

I use this line in HAML, and that works fine.

%li{:class => ("active" if item[:item] == active_menu_item)}

so maybe it''s the ( ) that do the trick?
