Rails link_to anchor within partial

In my Rails 3 app I have a link_to that takes the User from their profile page to the settings page. The settings page contains a form :partial for editing a profile. What I'd like to do is have the link_to in the Profile take the User to an anchor in the form partial. I've given it a go but am having trouble.

As my link_to I have:

<%= link_to('Visit the info section', settings_path, {:anchor => 'info'}) %>

Within settings_path is <%= render :partial => 'profiles/edit_settings_form' %>

Within that partial is:

<div class="infoBlock" anchor="#info">
</div>

I have a route for settings that I thought was causing the error:

match "/settings" => "settings#show", :as => 'settings'

I tried adding another match for the anchor to "profiles#edit_settings_form" but it didn't work. Any ideas?

<div class="infoBlock" anchor="#info">

is not proper way to do an anchor to a page. Correct syntax is something similar:

<a name="anchor"></a>

Now when you got to page with pagename#anchor, it redirects you to that block. For example:

<%= link_to "Block in home", :action => "home", :anchor => "anchor" %>
