similar to: relative links with link_to?

This is really confusing to me- I have some code in a page on the site I''m working on that works absolutely fine on one version of the code and totally doesn''t work on a newer version, in spite of the fact I can see no difference whatsoever either in the rhtml pages, the controller or any of the routing code. Right now I literally have no idea what the cause of this could be.

I have searched through the api several times through and can''t seem to find this. <%= link_to ''Help'', {:url => ''https://www.example.com/page?AppServeHelp''}, {:target => "_new"} %> but this doesn''t work as it still prepends the current server/controller space on the url itself. How do I accomplish this? Thanks Craig

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

I am just diving into Rails and I am a bit puzzled by the link_to function. am writing an app to display my photographs in categories. My application layout has a sidebar to show a menu with categories from the categories table in the database (like in taken from the tutorials), to be shown on every page. I managed to get a global @menu_categories object that keeps track of all the categories

What options do I need to provide to link_to so that it generates truly absolute URLs (i.e. including protocol://host:port/path)? It seems that even when I provide :host and :protocol arguments to url_for that it suppresses these when they match the current request.

Is it possible to pass parameters through link_to that will be used by the controller that link_to directs to? Specifically I have this code: <% for user in @users -%> <%= link_to user.screen_name, {:action => "index", :controller => "users", :user_id => user.id } %> <% end %> Is it possible to use the parameter at the end of link_to(:user_id

I have a link_to function that I''m calling with :post => true. When I click it, the link (which is in a table cell) moves up a bit and pushes the next table row down just a bit, like it''s hopping. My guess is that in the generated Javascript (by link_to), the addition of the form to the DOM is causing the link itself to move. Anyone seen this before, and if so, know a
