Question

I wish to construct the following in haml:

<div class="cell", id="cell11">
  more stuff..
</div>

where cell11 above is actually a ruby snippet of the form

<%= cell.html_id %>  (as coded in erb)

I cannot seem to construct a haml line that works in this case. The best I can get is a div with a class, followed by a div with an id…

Answer 1

If the ID is dynamic, just set the the id attribute like this:

.cell{:id => cell.html_id}
  more stuff..

Otherwise, you can just string the id and class(es) together as in:

.#myID.cell.foo.bar.etc
  more stuff...

which would yield

<div id="myID" class="cell foo bar etc">
more stuff...
</div>
