please check your mapping rules in file config/routes.rb and post  
your html source code of your page

nothing special actually…

map.resources :projects, :has\_many =\> :bugs, :member =\> {:hello =\> :get}

# Install the default routes as the lowest priority.

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

I seem to have figured out the problem…  
it doesn’t work in a loop a guess.

\<% for post in @posts %\>

 \<%=h post.body %\> \<%= link\_to\_remote 'Show', :url =\> post, :update =\> 'div2' %\> \<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_post\_path(post) %\> \<%= link\_to 'Destroy', post, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\> \<% end %\>

it won’t work up there but it would work fine with ‘New’ link…

\<%= link\_to\_remote ‘New post’, :url =\> new\_post\_path, :update =\> ‘div2’  
%\>

please helppp!!
