Rails newbe here:

Using link_to_unless_current and on my website it displays the the menu
item and its entire path in () ...

example:
home (/)
about (/welcome/about)
register (/users/register) ... and so on.


In my application_helper:

# Methods added to this helper will be available to all templates in the
application.
module ApplicationHelper

end

  def nav_link(text, controller, action = "index")
    link_to_unless_current text , {:controller => controller, :action =>
action}
  end


in my views/layout/application.html.erb
        <table id="menu">
          <tr> <td> <%= nav_link "Home",    "welcome" %> </td> </tr>
          <tr> <td> <%= nav_link "About",   "welcome", "about" %></td>
</tr>
          <tr> <td> <%= nav_link "Profile", "welcome", "profile" %>
</td> </tr>
          <tr> <td> <%= nav_link "Contact", "welcome", "contact" %>
</td> </tr>
        </table>

routes file has:
  # You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just
remember to delete public/index.html.
   map.root :controller => "welcome" ... standard stuff ... right?

so why the path in in the link?

any help would be great.  thanks
