Adding a Twitter Bootstrap button icon to button_to in Rails
ruby-on-rails, twitter-bootstrap
Solution
It looks like you have an issue with your quotes:
<%= button_to raw("<i class=\"icon-search icon-white\">Add To Cart</i>"),
line_items_path(product_id: product),
class: "btn btn-success" %>
Enclose the label of the button in double quotes, escape the double quotes in your `i` tag, and finally, wrap everything into a `raw()` call to ensure the HTML is properly displayed.
Alternatively you can use `html_safe`:
<%= button_to "<i class=\"icon-search icon-white\">Add To Cart</i>".html_safe,
line_items_path(product_id: product),
class: "btn btn-success" %>
good point from @jordanpg: you can't have HTML in the value of a button, so his solution is more appropriate and should get the approved status. the `html_safe`part remains valid though.
Problem
I am working through the Agile Web Development with Rails book but I have been using Twitter Bootstrap instead of the custom styling from the book. I am having trouble adding an icon through GLyphonics to the button_to method. My code looks like this: ``` <%= button_to <i class="icon-search icon-white">Add To Cart</i>, line_items_path(product_id: product), class: "btn btn-success" %> ``` I have tried quite a few variations but can't seem to get it to work correctly.
