Hi,

I have the following link\_to\_remote function

\<%=link\_to\_remote ‘up’, :url =\> {:controller =\> ‘maintain\_votes’,  
:action =\> ‘blog\_comments\_vote’, :id =\> blog\_comments\_show.id, :vote =\>  
‘true’ }%\> |

which generates this code:  
up

As href contains # and not the url, this breaks when javascript is not  
enabled, does anyone know of a way to fix this when using edge rails?

thanks

It’s not an Edge Rails issue… it’s just the nature of  
link\_to\_remote. One solution would be to pass the same url options to  
the html\_options=\>{:href=\>…}.
