Question

I want to create a button in my rails web application. It Should contain an image & text.
Also that button should call a link.
I am using button_to tag to create button for a link.The link must be processed as html request not js call.My problem is how to add image in that button?
Please help.Thank you.

Try this:

<%= button_to("TEXT",question_path,:style=>"background-image: url('/images/image.extension');") %>

And yes Yuri’s right, “Button always should do an action, link should always redirect somewhere (except pseudo-links, which could do some average — i.e. open hidden blocks, etc.).”
