Question

<%= link_to 'New Post', new_post_path %> 

This produces link to new_post_path. Previously i used <input type="submit" class="new" name="Addlist" value="Add New" /> which resembled like a button. So how can i make the link look like button in erb?

Answer 1

Just to throw another option out there since I had a scenario where the button_to option didn’t work. This looks kind of similar to that.

<%= link_to '<button type="button">New Post</button>'.html_safe, new_post_path %>

What I basically wanted is a button that doesn’t turn into a submit, since I have multiple buttons on the page that aren’t related to a form, and I really just want it to just go to another page.
