class Formtastic::Actions::LinkAction
Outputs a link wrapped in the standard `<li>` wrapper. This the default for `:cancel` actions. The link's URL defaults to Rails' built-in `:back` macro (the HTTP referrer, or Javascript for the browser's history), but can be altered with the `:url` option.
@example The `:as` can be ommitted, these are functionally equivalent
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link %> <%= f.action :cancel %>
@example Full form context and output
<%= semantic_form_for(@post) do |f| %>
<%= f.actions do %>
<%= f.action :submit, :as => :input %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<form...>
<fieldset class="actions">
<ol>
<li class="action input_action" id="post_submit_action">
<input type="submit" value="Create Post">
</li>
<li class="action link_action" id="post_cancel_action">
<a href="javascript:history.back()">Cancel</a>
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</form>
@example Modifying the URL for the link
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => "http://example.com/path" %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => "/path" %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => posts_path %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => url_for(...) %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => { :controller => "posts", :action => "index" } %>
@example Specifying a label with a String
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :label => "Stop" %>
@example Pass HTML attributes down to the `<a>`
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :button_html => { :class => 'pretty', :accesskey => 'x' } %>
@example Access key can also be set as a top-level option
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :accesskey => 'x' %>
@example Pass HTML attributes down to the `<li>` wrapper (classes are appended to the existing classes)
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :wrapper_html => { :class => 'special', :id => 'whatever' } %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :wrapper_html => { :class => ['extra', 'special'], :id => 'whatever' } %>
@todo document i18n keys @todo document i18n translation with :label (?) @todo :prefix and :suffix options? (can also be done with CSS or subclassing for custom Actions)
