Hi,
Got a question about how the book suggests sending POST requests using a
form whenever one intents to change some database state. So I converted
a
bunch of links to forms which ended up creating buttons. I was
wondering if
there was a way to keep them links rather than buttons but still use
POST in
a form?
thanks.

Call a JavaScript that does an XmlHttpRequest (aka AJAX request)
which is submitted via POST.

Try link_to(“Destroy!”, {:action => ‘destroy’}, :post => true).
This will automagically create the javascript to turn the link in to a
POST method.

Or easier, your link should look like this:
Link Name
This submits the first form on the page. You can also specify forms by
name or
id I think, but you typically only have one form per page anyway.
