I have a link:  
\<%= link\_to\_remote “Edit”, {:url =\> edit\_book\_url(book)}, {:href =\>  
edit\_book\_url(book)} %\>

It produce a tag: [Edit](http://localhost:3000/books/1;edit)

My ./config/routes.rb file is:  
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|  
map.resources :books, :members =\> {:delete =\> :get}  
map.connect ‘:controller/service.wsdl’, :action =\> ‘wsdl’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
end

In log I get:  
ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match “/books/1;edit”  
with {:method=\>:post})

What’s wrong? Should I add map.connect ‘:controller/:id;:action’?

## PS. I would not like to just solve the problem. I’d like to solve it in correct way.

I’ve probably left my head… somewhere. Please wait untill I find it.

Hey,

how about:

link\_to\_remote “Edit”, {:url =\> edit\_book\_url(book), :method =\> :get},  
{:href =\> edit\_book\_url(book)}

HTH,  
Trevor

A bit off-topic, but…

It should look more like:  
map.resources :books, :member =\> { :delete =\> :delete }

Notice “:member” is singular and you should NOT be doing “:get” if you  
are deleting, or modifying, the resource in any way.

It a hack for browser which do not have JavaScript. It will contains  
only  
button “Do you really want to delete?” which send it (unfortunatly) by  
POST.  
User click on “Delete” → Does he have JS support? —Yes—\> Send  
delete  
| request and  
No gets  
destroy.rjs  
|  
\> He is redirect to confirmation  
page delete.rhtml which send  
request by POST.
