content_tag_for(tag_name, record, *args, &block) public

content_tag_for creates an HTML element with id and class parameters that relate to the specified Active Record object. For example:

   <%= content_tag_for(:tr, @person) do %>
     <td><%=h @person.first_name %></td>
     <td><%=h @person.last_name %></td>
   <% end %>

would produce the following HTML (assuming @person is an instance of a Person object, with an id value of 123):

   <tr id="person_123" class="person">....</tr>

If you require the HTML id attribute to have a prefix, you can specify it:

   <%= content_tag_for(:tr, @person, :foo) do %> ...

produces:

   <tr id="foo_person_123" class="person">...

content_tag_for also accepts a hash of options, which will be converted to additional HTML attributes. If you specify a :class value, it will be combined with the default class name for your object. For example:

   <%= content_tag_for(:li, @person, :class => "bar") %>...

produces:

   <li id="person_123" class="person bar">...

Must use :class, not 'class'

Note that

<%= content_tag_for(:li, @person, :class => “bar”) %>

does the right thing.

<%= content_tag_for(:li, @person, ‘class’ => “bar”) %>

will not!
