Is this possible given the button\_to\_remote function seems to be  
defined as a Prototype helper? I’ve replaced my /public/javascripts/  
rails.js with the jQuery driver.

When I try to use button\_to\_remote I get the error undefined method  
‘button\_to\_remote’ for #\<#Class:0x000001078d7090:0x0000010789ad20\>

If this is not possible using button\_to\_remote, how can I accomplish  
the same thing using jQuery + Rails 3.

Thanks,  
Mark
