Hi, I have a css file with lots of classes. I want different links on my page (which all use the ''link_to'' tag) to belong to different classes so that I can format their font, size, color, etc. Where or how do I use the css class name in the link_to tag?

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew what ''<some type> expected, got Fixnum'' means?

Hi all, i would like to add the .html extension by default to all my resources. What is the best way to do that? The reason for this is that i need to download the generated sites via wget and i need the .html extension for the downloaded files. Also it would be nice if the link_to would automatically generate the links with .html... Thanks, Gerold

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

Hi, I''d like to be able to do a database query, fetch some text, and add an ''Accept Request'' and ''Deny Request'' within the text. Both of these would be links so if the user were to click on them, they would essentially send POST requests back to the server. Since this is dynamic, I wanted to know the safest/best approach in embedding these links

Agile book lacks some basic information, perhaps I need to learn ruby as I am lacking information - some basic things - especially debugging. The following are stupid newbie questions and any portion of them answered would be great. 1. If I am viewing a page from app/views/clients/ and on this page, I want to put a ''link_to'' directive to say app/views/case_managers... how do I

Hi all, I''m a Ruby/Rails/web development newbie, so this may be a stupid question. I''m putting some links using link_to into my rhtml page, creating the layout using the DIV tag: <div id="description"> <%= link_to h (item.description), :action => ''show'', :id => item.id %> </div> ... div#description { float: left;

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

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?
