I have the below link I am generating and type.name returns some
strings with a forward slash ("/"). This of course messes up routing.
I would like to escape it to %2F however I am unclear on how to do
that.
<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %>
If I do the below. it gives a no route error.
<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escapeHTML(type.name)) %>
Thanks.

hi, have a try:
<%= link_to type.name, "#{types_path(type.name)}" %>
keep the second parameter is string,right?

That is did not seem to work. I got a routing error. <%= link_to CGI::escape(type.name), types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %> The name of the link is appropriately displayed with the "/" replaced but the link is not.

actually, it is not a resource route. it is a route that is specifically defined. that is there is not resource "type." match "/types/:types" => "browse#list", :as => :types It is unresourceful route.

<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %>
The above one renders the page fine. However, when I click on the
link, then it gives me the no route error.
<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escapeHTML(type.name)) %>
The one above does not even render the page and gives me the below
error:
No route matches {:controller=>"xxx", :types=>"yyy/
yyy", :action=>"zzz"}

Also, I noticed that even spaces are not being escaped with the below: <%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escapeHTML(type.name)) %> The link is rendered with a space in it.

In both of the below, the explicit escaped back slash "%2F" is
converted to an actual backslash.
<%= link_to "blah", types_path("Vits%2Fmins") %>
<%= link_to "blah", :controller => :browse, :action => :list,
:types
=> "Vits%2Fmins" %>
Is this a safety feature of the link_to helper?
