Best way to use html5 data attributes with rails content_tag helper?

Question

The issue, of course, is that ruby symbols don\'t like hyphens. So something like this obviously won\'t work:

content_tag(:div, \"Some Text\", :id => \"fo         


        

Answer 1

You can always create you own helper function so then you can write

<%= div_data_tag the_id, some_text, some_data %>
