It seems that for options[:position] to work in edge rails now, you  
must specify “‘bottom’” instead of :bottom. Prototype is expecting a  
string here, and if you feed it the symbol the javascript is written  
as {insertion: bottom} which results in a javascript error.

I’m not sure what’s changed to make this so. If it’s something with  
Rails/Prototype and not something that I changed in my app, then the  
documentation for link\_to\_remote should reflect the change.
