Hi  
In helper I have  
change\_email\_link  
html = []  
html \<\< change\_email\_js(:email =\> @email)  
html \<\< %{  
edit  
}  
html.join  
end  
Now  
def change\_email\_js(options ={})  
%{

}  
end

```
   My problem is This does not popup the modalbox. But when I remove

```

the line  
#{link\_to\_remote ‘Ok’,{},{:class =\> :new\_ui\_blue\_button}} Or change  
this link\_to\_remote to link\_to everything works as expected What might  
be the reason  
Please help

Thanks in advance  
Sijo
