Smarty and Href

Whenever I put in a smarty variable in a link definition as :

<a href="{$foo->bar}">foo</a>,

it shows up as a literal as above in the link and not the contents of
the variable itself. Everywhere else in the template .. variable
substitution works fine.

Any help appreciated.

Turn on error_reporting(E_ALL).
If $foo->bar doesn't exist it will give you an error of E_NOTICE level. If
it does exist, I wouldn't know with this little piece what the problem could
be.

"Smarty will recognize assigned variables embedded in double quotes so
long as the variables contain only numbers, letters, underscores and
brackets []. With any other characters (period, object reference, etc.) the
variable must be surrounded by backticks."

Hope this helps
