debug: yay, I get to talk about closures! :)
Here's what I see William:
:click => "/nums/#{line.text}" interpolates #{line.text} into a string for
your click .. when the link gets rendered. It is probably empty at that
point.
button "Visit Printer" do
visit "/nums/#{line.text}"
end
this passes a closure to your button when the button gets rendered, and the
contents of the closure don't get executed (interpolating the string) until
the button gets pushed.
Can you pass a closure to a link too? I think so but I'm too far away from
my reference material to confirm. Anyway, investigate along that line! :)
