Use ERB to generate Anchor Name

Question

I'm trying to create Anchor tags using values in my DB for the name. That way it's easy for me to call them from another page.

<a name="<%= sailing_class.sort_order %>"</a>

But the value from sailing_class.sort_order never appears.

All help is greatly appreciated. I'm on Rails 3.2

You're missing a > (closing <a), so the html is not vaild, and an anchor should be with an id attribute instead of name . Try

<a id="<%= sailing_class.sort_order %>"></a>

You should accept the answer then (the check at the left of the answer), and you should do so also for your other questions. – Baldrick Jan 05 '13 at 19:15
