On some non-form pages, I have a few links that would look better as a button than a hyperlink...

I thought button_to instead of link_to would work, but buton_to see

    All you have to do is add a :method => "get" to the end of your button_to to get it to be treated like a link

    The button_to Way

    Using a users_path

    <%= button_to "BUTTON: link version", users_path, :method => "get" %>
    

    The CSS Way

    Or instead of actually inserting a form into your html (which is what button_to actually does) you could go with the cleaner (from a web design perspective) method and actually just style the link in a way to make it look like a button This has several benefits

  • Keeps forms out of your HTML, when they really shouldn't be there
  • Keeps your erb clean and normal, no surprises
  • Awesomely flexible, you can make them look the way you want
  • Here is a great article on how to do it and here is a little snippet of that code, really just depends on playing around with the border, padding and background image

    a.button {
      background: transparent url('bg_button_a.gif') no-repeat scroll top right;
      color: #444;
      display: block;
      float: left;
      font: normal 12px arial, sans-serif;
      height: 24px;
      margin-right: 6px;
      padding-right: 18px; /* sliding doors padding */
      text-decoration: none;
    }
    

    The code comes from the link above. Whichever method you choose should work fine, enjoy!
