Rails: Titlecase Only Capitalizes First Word in f.label

Question

The first line of code does what I want, the second only capitalizes the first word:

<%= the_label = \"Time_Balance\".titlecase %>

<%= f.lab         


        

Answer 1

try this.

<%= f.label :time_balance, "Time Balance" %> <br />

Label expects the first argument to be the method_name on the object the form is for, and defaults to just using it, unless you specify it explicitly as part of the second argument which is content/options.

Answer 2

I can't comment because of my rep. To answer webaholik's question, you can use label_tag in this case:

<%= label_tag :time_balance, "Time Balance" %>

Answer 3

F! What if I can't use "f." ?

..such as a secondary filter that doesn't reference a valid attribute

<%= label :time_balance, "Time Balance" %> <br />
