Ruby on Rails

Hey all,

I'm building a html helper.

My view looks like this:

= item_view "title", @post.title, :class => 'stuff'

My helper looks like this:

def format_item_data(data)
case data
when Class then ''
when School then school(data)
else data.to_s
end.to_s.html_safe
end

def item_view(label, *args)
data = args.first
formatter = args.second
options = args.extract_options!
options[:class] = "pi #{options[:class]}".strip

text = formatter ? send(formatter,data) : format_item_data(data)

content_tag :div, options do
content_tag(:div, label, :class => "label") +
content_tag(:div, text, :class => "data")
end
end

I get the following error:

{:class=>"pi stuff"} is not a symbol

I'm not sure why its throwing this exception. I followed this tutorial
that says I can pass a hash as part of the argument list:

Thanks for response
