Ruby On Rails ERB CSS Layout Question

Question

I have a question with turning this html into erb.

<button name="support" type="button" value="Get Support" class="brightOrange">
<span>Get Support</span>
</button>

I've been trying to do something like this in rails.

<% form_tag get_support_path do %> 
    <%= text_field_tag :email, "Email:" %>
    <% submit_tag "Join", :class=>"brightOrange" %>
<% end %> 

Thanks for the help in advance. Not quite sure how to do this.

Answer 1

Try this:

button_to "Get Support", {:action => 'support/get'}.

you can give HTML options also.
