A few ways that work for me are: link_to 'Home', '/home' # => <a href='/home'>Home</a> link_to 'Home', 'http://www.mysite.com/home' # => <a href='http:// www.mysite.com/home'>Home</a> link_to 'Home', :controller => '/home' # note the '/' in front of home <a href='/home'>Home</a> > do i need to use url_for? link_to already uses url_for if I understand well. only_path is used to make URL's relative to the root (first '/') of this URL. Is useful when behind a proxy (e.g. an SSL proxy). Much more info can be found on http://api.rubyonrails.org searching the method: url_for (ActionController::Base) HTH, Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
