Link_to (rails 2.2.2)

Using Rails 2.2.2, I want to display an image that when clicked, will take the user to an external site. I have the following code for this:

     <%= link_to(image_tag(model.small_image), model.website_url) %>

However, when this is rendered, the URL has the path (route?) pre- pended to it. So instead of http://www.google.com, I get http://localhost:3000/users/12/www.google.com.

What changes do I need in order to get just http://www.google.com ?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,

Make sure that Model.website_url contains http:// - e.g. <%= link_to(image_tag(model.small_image), " http://www.google.com") %>
