Cake PHP: HTML Helper inside Element does not work

Question

I make a call like: $this->element('stories') in order to display the contents of this element named "stories" in multiple pages. When I use the html helper inside the element, I get the following error: Missing Helper Error: htmlHelper could not be found.

Note: I am using CakePHP 2.4

Thanks

Are you sure you enabled Htmlhelper in all your controllers? Also: HtmlHelper with capital 'H' — arilia

Yeah, mind your casing - as with almost everything related to programming and operating systems (even if you are coming from Windows^^). — mark

You can use the html helper like..

<?php 
   // not echo $html->link('text', 'url'); 
   // not echo $this->html->link('text', 'url'); 
   echo $this->Html->link('text', 'url'); 
?>

Please check your code. Please have a look on the documentation.
