Hey all,

I'm building a html helper.

My view looks like this:

          = item_view "title", @post.title, :class => 'stuff'

My helper looks like this:

  def format_item_data(data)
    case data
      when Class then ''
      when School then school(data)
      else data.to_s
    end.to_s.html_safe
  end

  def item_view(label, *args)
    data = args.first
    formatter = args.second
    options = args.extract_options!
    options[:class] = "pi #{options[:class]}".strip

    text = formatter ? send(formatter,data) : format_item_data(data)

    content_tag :div, options do
      content_tag(:div, label, :class => "label") +
      content_tag(:div, text, :class => "data")
    end
  end

I get the following error:

{:class=>"pi stuff"} is not a symbol

I'm not sure why its throwing this exception. I followed this tutorial
that says I can pass a hash as part of the argument list:

Thanks for response
