How can I use the link_to helper to make a link without an href

  • 0

How can I use the link_to helper to make a link without an href attribute? I want to make a link exclusively for a javascript action, I don’t want it reloading the page or anything.

When I omit the url parameter, clicking the link reloads the page. Ditto for providing nil in place of the url.

    = link_to('Click me', 'javascript:;', :id => :foo)
    

    Its basically a Javascript no-op
