- # The html_options has three special features. One for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass :confirm => 'Are you sure?',

+ # The +html_options+ will accept a hash of html attributes for the link tag.
+ # It also accepts 3 modifiers that specialize the link behavior.
#
- # Another for creating a popup window, which is done by either passing :popup with true or the options of the window in
- # Javascript form.
+ # * <tt>:confirm => 'question?'</tt>: This will add a JavaScript confirm
+ # prompt with the question specified. If the user accepts, the link is
+ # processed normally, otherwise no action is taken.
+ # * <tt>:popup => true || array of window options</tt>: This will force the
+ # link to open in a popup window. By passing true, a default browser window
+ # will be opened with the URL. You can also specify an array of options
+ # that are passed-thru to JavaScripts window.open method.
+ # * <tt>:method => symbol of HTTP verb</tt>: This modifier will dynamically
+ # create an HTML form and immediately submit the form for processing using
+ # the HTTP verb specified. Useful for having links perform a POST operation
+ # in dangerous actions like deleting a record (which search bots can follow
+ # while spidering your site). Supported verbs are :post, :delete and :put.
+ # Note that if the user has JavaScript disabled, the request will fall back
+ # to using GET. If you are relying on the POST behavior, your should check
+ # for it in your controllers action by using the request objects methods
+ # for post?, delete? or put?.
#
- # And a third for making the link do a non-GET request through a dynamically added form element that is instantly submitted.
- # Note that if the user has turned off Javascript, the request will fall back on the GET. So its
- # your responsibility to determine what the action should be once it arrives at the controller. The form is turned on by
- # passing :method with the option of either :post, :delete, or :put as the value. Usually only :post or :delete will make sense, though.
- # Note, it's not possible to use method request and popup targets at the same time (an exception will be thrown).
+ # You can mix and match the +html_options+ with the exception of
+ # :popup and :method which will raise an ActionView::ActionViewError
+ # exception.

- # Examples:
- # link_to "Delete this page", { :action => "destroy", :id => @page.id }, :confirm => "Are you sure?"
+ # link_to "Visit Other Site", "http://www.rubyonrails.org/", :confirm => "Are you sure?"

+ # +email_address+ is used for the link label. You can use this option to
+ # obfuscate the +email_address+ by substituting the @ sign with the string
+ # given as the value.
+ # * <tt>:replace_dot</tt> - When the link +name+ isn't provided, the
+ # +email_address+ is used for the link label. You can use this option to
+ # obfuscate the +email_address+ by substituting the . in the email with the
+ # string given as the value.
+ # * <tt>:subject</tt> - Preset the subject line of the email.
+ # * <tt>:body</tt> - Preset the body of the email.
+ # * <tt>:cc</tt> - Carbon Copy addition recipients on the email.
+ # * <tt>:bcc</tt> - Blind Carbon Copy additional recipients on the email.
#
- # You can also make it difficult for spiders to harvest email address by obfuscating them.

+ # mail_to "me@domain.com" # => <a href="mailto:me@domain.com">me@domain.com</a>
