title: a Href links in ruby
body: <p>This is pretty straightforward. </p>
  
  <p>I want to make a href link in html point to a site urls thats determined by a ruby variable.
  So heres what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;% @jobs.each do |job| %&gt;
  &lt;% @tempJobUrl = job.url%&gt;
  &lt;a href=&lt;%=job.url%&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;%= job.url %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>job is an object which has the variable of url. The url is pretty standard format <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com</a> and thats what shows up in the table. However when I press the link, it takes me to the page with </p>
  
  <pre><code>%3C/a
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on the end. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas where this is coming from?</p>
