How to get Twitter-Bootstrap navigation to show active link?

Question

I\'m not understanding how Twitter Bootstrap does active links for the navigation. If I have a regular navigation like this (with ruby on rails linking):

<         


        

Answer 1

Basic, No Helper

<%= content_tag(:li, class: ('active' if request.path == '/contact')) do %>
    <%= link_to 'Contact', '/contact' %>
<% end %>

I use this since I have more than one class -

<%= content_tag(:li, class: (request.path == '/contact' ? 'active black' : 'black')) do %>
    <%= link_to 'Contact', '/contact' %>
<% end %>
