Question

I had a question, re: creating nested html tags in Rails, since I am just learning rails.

Basically, I am trying to refactor some code that looks like this:

<a id="myid" href="/mylink">MainLinkText<span>Subtext</span></a>

However, when I use the contact_tag inside a link_to, I can’t get it to display the MainLinkText.
My code looks like this:

link_to content_tag(:span, "Subtext"), mylink_path, :id => "myid"

But I don’t know how to get the “MainLinkText” in there. Is there a clean way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

link_to "MainLinkText #{content_tag(:span, "Subtext")}".html_safe, mylink_path, :id => "myid"
