The link_to must be executed as ruby, which your code makes no attempt to do. Much easier just to put the urls in the collection then do the link_to in the loop, something like <% @person.hostlist_linked.each do |host| %> <%= link_to host %> <% end %> Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
