I here if I recall correctly. > Doesn't appear to be, replacing :data with :params changes the HTML link as follows: data-foo='bar' becomes params="{:foo=>"bar"}" Changing :data to params just mashes up the html link. AFAIK the generated HTML link is correct data-foo='bar', shouldn't this be accessible in the controller as part of the params hash? If I inspect the params hash, all that is there is the usual key/value pairs: controller, action, (when applicable => id, method, authenticity_token). How can I send an additional data attribute to the controller? Do I have problem with my routes?
