I want my banner ads to be rotated using ruby.

So I try this

\<%= link\_to\_remote( image\_tag(“graphics/  
select01.gif”, :alt=\>‘Programming’, :size=\>‘100x20’, :border=\>0),  
:update =\> “select01\_div”,  
:url =\>{ :action =\> :select01\_action }) %\>

and it works. But this doesn’t seem to work for me. Does ruby expect  
images to be local even if we do http://?

\<%= link\_to\_remote( image\_tag(http://  
[globalwarmingawareness2007.org.uk](http://globalwarmingawareness2007.org.uk) /graphics/  
select01.gif, :alt=\>‘Programming’, :size=\>‘100x20’, :border=\>0),  
:update =\> “select01\_div”,  
:url =\>{ :action =\> :select01\_action }) %\>
