htmlhelper tag code from Coldbox 3.0 to 3.1

This code used to work in Coldbox 3.0 to 3.1
I am building a menu.
I'm sure it has to do with my syntax.
No Errors this is what is getting generated.
<li><a>Home</a></li>
<cfset htmlHelper = getPlugin("htmlHelper") />
<cfoutput>
<li>#htmlHelper.tag("a","Home", {title="Home",
href=event.BuildLink('admin/manageproperties')})#</li>
</cfoutput>

I have no idea why that’s happening, but quick question… what’s the reason for using an html helper in a place like that? I’ve never used the html helper, so please excuse my ignorance.

It has to do with choice, no reason other than that.
I have tried dumping <cfdump var"#htmlhelper#" /> the object exists.

You need to use the href method and not the tag method, if you read the code in the plugin it becomes very obvious as to why it is not working.

For all use the href instead.

My apologies, I looked in the Wiki before I posted, specifically on
this page where I would expect it to be.
http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/Plugins:HTMLHelper.cfm
Could you please share the correct syntax or point me to page where
this is? There are no examples for anchor tags on this page.

Thanks!

I looked at the plugin code itself.
