Rails - Jun 2008 - Applying a class/id to current link in Haml

I''ve got a tabbed menu. It currently looks like this in Haml:

%ul#menu
  %li= link_to_unless_current "...", :controller => "..."
  %li= link_to_unless_current "...", :controller => "..."
  %li= link_to_unless_current "...", :controller => "..."
  %li= link_to_unless_current "...", :controller => "..."

I would like one of the <li> elements to get an id or class of
"current"
or "selected" or something when it is the current tab.

How can I do that?

Thanks.

Perhaps something like this (untested):

%li{:class => ''myClass''}= blah blah blah

I found a solution based on your suggestion:

%li{current("home_page")}= bla bla

def current(controller)
  if @current_controller.eql? controller
    return {:id => "current"}
  else
    return {}
  end
end

@current_controller is set in the ApplicationController.
