Can anyone out there tell me how to add a class or id property to a  
link using link\_to\_remote? I’ve been banging my head on this for far  
too long.

Thanks  
Clint

I’m not positive, but I think you set them in the html\_options hash:

link\_to\_remote “Delete this post”, { :update =\> “posts”, :url =\> {  
:action =\> “destroy”, :id =\> post.id } }, { :id =\> ‘link\_id\_here’ }

</div>

That’s what I figured to, but it doesn’t work.

Here’s my code:

\<%= link\_to\_remote ‘Add Partner’,  
{:loaded =\> “new Effect.BlindDown(‘add\_partner’)”,  
:update =\> ‘add\_partner’,  
:url =\> {:action =\> ‘new\_partner’, :id =\> @site\_id}},  
{:id =\> ‘test’} %\>

Is it possible?

… because of this very serious condition: [http://en.wikipedia.org/](http://en.wikipedia.org/)

Clint, the example you’ve given is correct:

```
<%= link_to_remote 'Add Partner',
         {:loaded => "new Effect.BlindDown('add_partner')",
         :update => 'add_partner',
         :url => {:action => 'new_partner', :id => @site_id}},
          {:id => 'test'} %>

```

Just to make sure, i tried it out and it works fine for me. So, make  
sure you’re checking in the right place 🙂

Why don’t you put the link\_to\_remote in a div.

Exactly Sebastian.

Clint, the example you’ve given is correct:
