Hi all,

_is this the correct usergroup for ruby on rails?_ mhhh…

I am new to ruby/rails and want to use a normal button - not a submit  
button - as a link. But I also want to use a css style on that button.

My idea was this:  
\<%= button\_to “Add New Client”, :action =\> ‘new’, :class =\> ‘button’ %\>  
where “button” is my css style

this will result into:

I wonder if there is any better way to do it.  
any ideas?

Thanks for any help or hint  
-Andreas
