oops...
Spotted the issue:
the correct line should be:
<%= link_to image_tag ("about.png", :border =>"0"), :controller =>
"site", :action => "about" %>
That works now.
Well, I'd suggest formatting like:
<%= link_to(image_tag("about.png", :border =>"0"),
:controller => "site", :action => "about") %>
I might leave the parentheses off the call to link_to, but only if it
didn't break across lines in the actual source. In fact, since you're
using the hash argument form for the url construction, you really
could have this and be exactly the same (from a Rails-semantics
perspective):
<%= link_to(image_tag("about.png", :border =>"0"),
{:controller => "site", :action => "about"}, {}) %>
I mention this because going back and adding an option that you expect
to be given to link_to can easily be given to the underlying call to
url_for that happens inside the link_to helper.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what it is I've done wrong with the following?
I'm wanting to use images to link to the page in the site.
So I have this:
<%= link_to(image_tag "about.png", :border =>"0", :controller =>
"site", :action => "about") %>
Unfortunately, the image doesn't link as I'd expected. The page
renders, but that's all.
Can anyone help? I know it's probably something REALLY obvious, but i
just can pin it down
Many Thanks.
