content_tag that accepts a block = block_tag

Sometimes I want to do something like this:



<% content_tag("div", :class => "section_with_error" do %>

  HTML GOES HERE

<% end %>

instead of this:



<%= content_tag("div", "HTML GOES HERE", :class => "section_with_error") %>

Put the following code in ApplicationHelper, and you can do just that (replacing "content_tag" in the example above with "block_tag", of course):



  def block_tag(tag, options = {}, &block)

    concat(content_tag(tag, capture(&block), options), block.binding)

  end
