Hello there,

     I am using the link_to tag to open a website. I am getting error.

I used the following code.

<%= link_to "click here",:action =>"http://www.rubyxml.com" %>

I am getting the following error

No route matches "/users/http:%2F%2Fwww.rubyxml.com" with {:method=>:get}

Can anybody tell me what i have to do to overcome this problem.

Thanks in advance.
