I deal w/ this all the time. Right now I've settled on this:
def navigation_link_to(name, url={}, active=false)
link_to(name, url, {:class => "nav_item#{" active" if active}"})
end
similar to a regular link_to method, but pass whatever I want at the
end to determine whether or not the tab should be active. i do this b/
c what makes the tab active is not always consistent. sometimes its
the controller, sometimes its the action, sometimes its something
arbitrary.

I have a tab navigation and I'm trying to set the active tab based on
the page that the customer is viewing. Currently its a bunch of if
else statements, but I know there has to be a way to shorten it.
<% if request.symbolized_path_parameters[:controller] == 'main' %>
<%= link_to 'Home', {:controller => 'main', :action => 'show' },
:class => 'active' %>
<% else %>
<%= link_to 'Home', {:controller => 'main', :action => 'show' } %>
<% end %>
Thanks,
