\<%= link\_to\_remote “add round”, :url =\> { :action  
=\> :add\_round }, :class =\> “blueL”, :update =\> “rounds”, :method =\>  
“put” %\>  
works while  
\<%= submit\_to\_remote ‘name’, “add round”, :url =\> { :action  
=\> :add\_round }, :html =\> { :class =\> “blueL” }, :update =\>  
“rounds”, :method =\> “put” %\>

What do you mean by “doesn’t work”?

Got an error message?

It’s just not functional. I want it to render a partial in the rounds  
id, while adding the models to the database.

Hmm… gonna need more information than that.

1. Have you checked your development log?
2. Do you have the Firebug extension for Firefox to look at the content  
of the Ajax request?
3. Did you include the correct JavaScript files?

Is your submit\_to\_remote in a form ? it won’t work if it’s not (since  
what it does is submit its form to the specified URL)

No… So I _must_ use link\_to? Cause I don’t see a button to remote.

There’s always button\_to\_function(‘Foo’, remote\_function(…)). Or  
style the link to look like a button.
