Anybody a have better method for having an onmouseover (or any event).  
This is the method used but its not as pretty and has to be done for  
every mouse event.

```
  def link_to_remote_mover(name, options = {}, html_options = {})
    link_to_function_mover(name, remote_function(options),

```

html\_options)  
end

```
  def link_to_function_mover(name, *args, &block)
    html_options = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.pop : {}
    function = args[0] || ''
    html_options.symbolize_keys!
    function = update_page(&block) if block_given?
    content_tag(
      "a", name,
      html_options.merge({
        :href => html_options[:href] || "javascript:void(0)",
        :onmouseover => (html_options[:onmouseover] ?

```

"#{html\_options[:onmouseover]}; " : “”) + “#{function}; return false;”  
})  
)  
end
