'alt' and 'title' tags :/

<%= link_to (scale_image_tag testimonial.picture1, :alt => "dyjdcgyhjk", :title => "dxtykdyj", :height => 110, :width => 110, :border => "0"), {:action => "show", :id => testimonial} %>

What am I doing wrong with ':alt => "dyjdcgyhjk", :title => "dxtykdyj"' to make it not work? I've looked in the source code and both are empty :frowning:

Apologies, I've realised the problem :slight_smile:

<%= link_to (scale_image_tag testimonial.picture1, :height => 110, :width => 110, :border => "0"), {:action => "show", :id => testimonial}, :title => testimonial.quote %>

<%= link_to scale_image_tag(testimonial.picture1, :height => 110,                              :width => 110, :border => "0"),              {:action => "show", :id => testimonial},              :title => testimonial.quote %>

Without adding more parentheses, I just wanted to suggest (to you and anyone else reading) that you actually use parentheses to surround the method arguments to scale_image_tag rather than use them to group the arguments. If the space after 'link_to' was removed, the entire parenthetical group would result in a syntax error.

Omitting parentheses can be a nice thing, but when you need them, you really need to put them in the right place.

I'd also recommend surrounding the arguments to link_to with their own set of parentheses.
