Haml: how do I set a dymanic class value?

I have the following html.erb code that I'm looking to move to Haml:

    <span class="<%= item.dashboardstatus.cssclass %>" ><%= item.dashboardstatus.status %></span>

What it does is associate the CSS class of the currently assigned status to the span.

How is this done in Haml? I'm sure I'm missing something really simple.

Edit: Gah. I can't believe I didn't figure that out on my own. Just goes to show that two sets of eyes are better than one. Thanks!

• Not sure. Maybe:

  %span{:class => item.dashboardstatus.cssclass }= item.dashboardstatus.status
