case/capitalization of LABEL text

rubyonrails-talk

I've noticed that when using the form method Label, that the label text is translated to html with the first character in Upper Case and the remainder of the text string as lower case.

<%= label(:country, "USA") %> becomes <label for="country_USA">Usa</

I can't find any documentation on this unhelpful behavior. Is there anyway way to override it and keep the text string in proper case.

Thanks, Bill

You could call it like this: <%= label(:country, :name, "USA") %>

This is the method interface: label(object_name, method, text = nil, options = {})

Thank you E. Litwin for bumping me in the right direction. I'm much clearer now.

Cheers, Bill
