It's telling you that is can't fine your HTML template before it
reaches the end of the file it is processing. It may be that the frame
work is looking for your HTML template at the end of the file that is
making the call and not the helper.
Personally I don't like using the inline template in a method because
it doesn't allow you to easily change the template without touching
that method. I would save the template off to it's own file in the
view folder (somthing like tabs.html.erb) and then in the helper
method read and process the template returning the result to whaterver
called it.
def links_for_navigation
template = ERB.new File.read("tabs.html.erb")
html= template.result(binding)
end
