Question

I currently have some haml code which reads as

%span.flagb.flag-gb

this builds me a nice span which the classes:
flagB
flag-gb

(which puts a nice sprite on the page of the gb (great britian) flag

Now I dont want to hard code the gb I have the iso country code which I can access with a
=code

but I am so new I dont know about the best way of replacing the “gb” with the code value

Full code below as how i have it atm

- TZInfo::Country.all_codes.each do |code|
  %li
    %a(href='#')
      %span.flagb.flag-gb
      =code

only way I have managed it so far is using pure html

<span class='flagB flag-#{code'></span>

Thanks

The .classname syntax is just a shorthand, you can do it the long way:

%span{:class => "flagb flag-#{code}"}

See the HAML reference on class and id attributes for more information.
