I am using a restful helper method to build a url for use in a  
link\_to\_remote method and for some reason the generated url has the  
ampersand that separates the parameters escaped (i.e.  
/action?param1=1&param2=2 instead of /action?param1=1&param2=2)

Any ideas why and how to make it stop? 🙂 The code in question resides  
in a helper, if that matters…

Cheers,
