Question

I have a class in a .html.erb view file that I want to give an id based on a variable.

I want to do something like this:

<ul id="#{store}">

Where store is a variable containing the string “store1”.

I want this to yield an ul like this: <ul id=store1>, but I get <ul id=#{store}> instead.

Do I need to create a helper to help facilitate this or is there some syntax I’m overlooking?

Answer 1

Try this:

<ul id="<%= yourvariable %>">
