Question

Im rendering a bunch of partials where I would like the :title option on an image_tag to be the same as the name of the record.

Heres what I have:

<%= link_to record do %>
  <div class="record_partial">         

    <span class="record_partial_name"><%= record.name %></span>

    <div id="record_icon_<%= record.id %>" class="recordicon">
        <%= image_tag (record.recordicon.url(:recordicon)) %>
      <% end %>
    </div>
  </div>
<% end %>

I thought this would work:

<%= image_tag (record.recordicon.url(:record icon)), :title => "<%= record.name %>" %>

But this gives:

SyntaxError in Venues#index

/Users/dave/Work/go/app/views/records/_record.html.erb:21:

/Users/dave/Work/go/app/views/records/_record.html.erb:26:

Any help is much appreciated!

Answer 1

Try this

<%= image_tag record.recordicon.url(:recordicon), :title => record.name %>

You already are in Ruby land, no need to open another <%= %> block.
