Rails link_to with inline styling

Question

I must change a link_to tag color without using a CSS class, how can I do? I\'ve tried something such as

<%= link_to item.description, {}, {:style=>\'c         


        

Answer 1

I want to update this topic, because in this time, the syntax is different. In rails 4+, the correct syntax is:

<%= link_to TEXT, URL, class: 'css_class', style: 'color:#FFFFFF' %>

Answer 2

You can try link_to item.description, {}, {:style => 'color: #FFFFFF'} is ok.

To color your links you have to set more then color:

a:link { 
  color: #333333;
}
a:visited { 
  color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:hover { 
  color: #CCCCCC;
}
a:active { 
  color: #333333;
}

I recommend to use a css class for this.
