Generate link_to without path (only anchor)

I need to have path like "#privacy" for tab plugin. Link must contain only anchor. When I use link_to 'Privacy', :anchor => 'privacy' Rails generate /privacy#privacy - link, that contains full path and anchor.

How can I told Rails to generate url without path (only anchor)?

Thanks.

Solved: link_to 'Privacy', '#privacy'

This will work for you <%= link_to "title", resource_path(:anchor => "anchor") %>

Your best bet for this exact scenario is to just use <%= link_to "link text", "#anchor" %>. The anchor tag is used within url_for and doesn't really give you a clean way to just use an anchor.

The following will create a link the way you want -

link_to "my-privacy", "#privacy"

In most browsers, the path of the current page will be prefixed, but if you check the source of the page, the following html will be seen -

<a href="#privacy">my-privacy</a>

This will most probably serve your purpose for the UI, just that you'll have to split the url at '#' using Javascript.

No generation of routes is needed also no generator is needed.

<%= link_to "link text", "#", :id => 'your_id_here' %>

You will need the id to access the object via jQuery.

//edit

<%= link_to "link text", "/#anchor", :id => 'your_id_here' %>
