I'm using a series of link_to blocks to create buttons in my application. However I'm finding that these links don't end up working. As I mouse-over the button, it recognizes the link, the correct url displays in the lower left-hand corner in firefox, but when I click, nothing happens. Nothing comes up in my terminal or development log either.
My code is as follows:
<%= link_to new_folder_path do%>
<div class="btn btn-default add-button add_fields"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>Add Folder</div>
<% end %>
This renders the following html:
<li>
<a href="/folders/new">
<div class="btn btn-default add-button add_fields"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>Add Folder</div>
</a>
</li>
I should also note that if I just type the standard link in without the do block, it runs just fine:
<li><%= link_to "test", new_folder_path %></li>
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
Turned out I had dropped a class into my div that prevented the link from rendering (add_fields was the class). Profoundly unsatisfying answer it is what it is. Thanks to anyone who took the time to give me a hint.
