<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %>
The above one renders the page fine. However, when I click on the
link, then it gives me the no route error.
<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escapeHTML(type.name)) %>
The one above does not even render the page and gives me the below
error:
No route matches {:controller=>"xxx", :types=>"yyy/
yyy", :action=>"zzz"}
