Question

I’m trying to output some html in view inside the ternary operator:

<%params[:type]=="0" ? "<span class=\"active\">Links</span>" : link_to("Links",:type=>0)%>

It doesn’t work as instead of link or span element it outputs me html tags <span class="active">Links</span>
I’m new to ruby/rails, tried to move <%= %> tags, but can’t find a way to do it.

Answer 1

try with raw method:

<%= params[:type] == "0" ? raw("<span class=\"active\">Links</span>") : link_to("Links",:type=>0) %>

or the html_safe:

<%= params[:type] == "0" ? "<span class=\"active\">Links</span>".html_safe : link_to("Links",:type => 0) %>
