Um, the links in your post are no different.
Why do you need the forward slash on the end anyway? It's extraneous.

sorry I meant to say www.foo.com/bar to www.foo.com/bar/
well because without a "/" at the end will do redirect. it will throw 302 (I think) error which users never know about but server will redirect.

This should not happen. These URLs should be 100% equal in their "meaning". Anything else is not HTTP-valid i would say.
Maybe you should rather check the server??? WOuld be interested why it behaves this way ...
anyways, you could only make your own helper:
def slashed_link_to(*args)
link_to(args) + "/"
end

check out the http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/ … #redirects
this is why and I got error when I was trying to use lightwindow without the "/" at the end.
thanks

If you're running apache this doesn't affect rails apps because everything runs through mod_rewrite:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
Re: how to add "/" to link_to ???
<%= link_to "+ Reply", url_for(:action => 'edit', :id => s ) + "/", :class => 'lightwindow page-options'%>
Re: how to add "/" to link_to ???
There is a :trailing_slash option in url_for. See it here.
I'm not sure if you're linking to a controller or just an outside url, but it could be something like this:
<%= link_to "Foo Bar", url_for(:action => 'bar', :trailing_slash => true ) %>
