I need to add a class attribute to the elements generated by link_to for my CSS to style the links. How can I do that?

<%= link_to "Artworks", :controller => "artwork", :action => "list" %>

<%= link_to 'My Homepage', get_home_page.last, :class => 'navlink3' %>

Thanks, but that approach using this:

<%= link_to "Artworks", :controller => "artwork", :action => "list", :class => "artwork" %>

...generates this:

<a href="/artwork/list?class=artwork">Artworks</a>

That definitely renders, but renders something different from what I need. I need to generate this: <a href="/artwork/list" class="artwork">Artworks</a>

Aha!! I got it!

<%= link_to "Artworks", :controller => "artwork", :action => "list", :class => "artwork" %>

needs to be:

<%= link_to "Artworks", {:controller => "artwork", :action => "list"}, :class => "artwork" %>

Voila!
