unobstrusive label tag

grosser · Sep 18, 20081 thank

just use
label_tag('a_a','a_a') and it works, just not ment for pure decorative labels :)

removes underscores -> do not use for images etc

example #does not work label_tag('aa'+image_tag('x_x.gif'))

Html inside Lable tag

I need this

Show

entries
</label>

I made a helper method:

def entries_lablel() label_tag '' do concat 'Show ' concat content_tag(:select, options_for_select([10, 25, 50, 100]), {name: 'dyntable_length', size: 1} ) concat ' entries' end end

and In my html.erb file I called it

<%= entries_lablel %>

You can pass paramateres to make it more generic also You can add multiple select elements or any other element using the same
