Ruby javascript block not rendering

[François Montel]

Wondering why the following doesn't not work (no error, but doesn't
generate the javascript):

<pre>
= link_to_function('CONTRIBUTE', nil, :style =>
"background:none;") do |page|
page.visual_effect(:blind_up, 'search', { :duration => 0.5 })
page.visual_effect(:toggle_blind, 'submit', { :duration =>
0.5 })
</pre>

I extracted it to a helper and it works okay, but according to the
haml docs, I should be able to put a block like this in my haml view.

The problem is that the code within the block isn't registered by Haml as Ruby code. It just looks like plain text. If you add a hyphen in front of the lines you want to be interpreted as Ruby, the code should work.

Ah, okay. Got it. Do I need to preface with = those lines within a
block that output HTML? Or does the = on the first line of the block
take care of that and I can just use - for the lines within the
block?

The = on the first line suffices. Think about how you would do it in ERB: you'd wrap the entire block in <%= %>. It's basically the same idea in Haml.
