Hi , I was trying to use link_to along with image_tag to setup a link that would open in an external window. But I was unable to make a link using both text & an image So my current workaround looks like this inside a partial where link is http://foo.com & text would be descriptive <img src="images/arrow.gif" border="0"/> <%= link_to(text, link, :popup

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

the link_to command is really nice, especially with confirm built in - wondering if there is a way to use it with SVG images since SVG doesn''t seem to work with image_tag I can display svg images (in Firefox) with the following code: <embed width=32 height=32 src="/images/quit.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></embed> "normal" link_to code:

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

I am using the excellent file_column, but have run into an issue. I am wanting the user to be able to *not* upload an image if they so choose. Then I am trying to determine if that column is empty or not, and display a generic image if that column is empty. I have tried both of the following code blocks: <% if @newsentry.image -%> <%= link_to(image_tag((url_for_image_column

I''m trying to generate the URL for an image and I''m getting the following error. undefined method `request'' for #<Mailer:0x6a719e0> I''ve been able to use link_to but no luck with image_tag.

I''ve got a rather long conditional statement that either displays a link_to(image_tag(blah)blah) or just an image_tag (i''ve edited it a bit to show the structure): <%= (article.score_from_user(:user_id => session[:user]) != -1) ? (link_to image_tag("/images/down_arrow_grey.jpg", :alt => "down"), :controller=>"article", :action =>

I''m trying to use button_to and have it use an image in place of the submit button. I had figured it would work the same as link_to like so: button_to(image_tag("editicon", :size => "16x16", :border => 0), :action => ''edit'', :id => person.id) but this instead displays the image code as the button name. Surely there is a simple way to
