The "rails helpers" were ported from Ruby on Rails. I've never used Rails so I don't know how closely they match the originals, and of course they've been modified over time. The rails helpers are all in webhelpers.rails (though Pylons 0.9.7 applications should import them from webhelpers.rails.wrapped due to the escaping issue). But the rails helpers were all deprecated en masse in WebHelpers 0.6, and replaced by new helpers in webhelpers.html.tags, webhelpers.text, etc. Rails helpers are often named with suffixes like "_tag", "_to", etc. The new helpers generally do not have these suffixes: stylesheet_link_tag -> stylesheet_link text_field -> text radio_button -> radio However, a few of the new helpers do keep the suffix: link_to -> link_to -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
