Rails 3 - link_to with image_tag + text

Question

<%= link_to ((image_tag \'image.png\'), 
        url_for({:controller => \'controller_name\', :action => \'action_name\'}), 
            :class => \'quick\',         


        

Answer 1

A slightly sexier solution?

<%= link_to image_tag("image.png", :alt => "Image Description", :class => "css"), root_path %>

Answer 2

Try this:

<%= link_to (image_tag('image.png') + text, 
        url_for({:controller => 'controller_name', :action => 'action_name'}), 
            :class => 'quick', 
            :remote => true) %>

The first argument is the text part and with image_tag you create HTML, but you can easily append stuff.

Answer 3

I used the following and it works just fine:

<%= link_to image_tag("logo.jpg"), controller: 'welcome' %>

Answer 4

Try this.

<%= link_to image_tag('/images/image.png') + "some extra text", url_for({:controller => 'controller_name', :action => 'action_name'}), :class => 'quick', :remote => true %>
