Hi,

I need to know if there is a way to use a link to remote but instead of  
using a string link use an image?

thank for any response!

\<%= link\_to\_remote(image\_tag("/images/something.jpg"), :url =\>  
something\_path) %\>

Instead of text, put something like this on your remote:

\<%= link\_to\_remote image\_tag(‘hello.gif’),  
:url=\>{  
:controller=\>“animals”,  
:action=\>“destroy”,  
:id=\>animal.id},  
:update=\>“animal#{animal.id}”,  
:loading=\>“status(‘animal#{animal.id}’)”  
%\>

chau wn! 😛
