Using Tooltips with link_to (Ruby on Rails 3.2.3)

Question

I have been successful in creating a tooltip for text using code similar to: ``` text on page ``` However I would like to do a tooltip for a link defined in a menu using the link_to command. I have included the statement I would like a tooltip to appear for: ```

<%= link_to current_user.first_name+' '+current_user.last_name, edit_user_path(current_user) %>

``` Here is the JS code in bootstrap.js.coffee: ``` $(".tooltip").tooltip() $("a[rel=tooltip]").tooltip() ``` I am a student still learning a lot about Rails, Twitter Bootstrap, CSS3, HTML5, etc. I have done many web searches but have not found any examples of this that I understood. Basically there is nothing that says directly that I can do a tooltip within a link_to statement that worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

This way:

```
link_to 'Text', '/link', title: 'some title', rel: 'tooltip'
```

update:

It's ruby 1.9 syntax. For 1.8 it would be

```
link_to 'Text', '/link', :title => 'some title', :rel => 'tooltip'
```
