How is it working, and how do you expect it to work?

Hi
I have another cancel button just below the above submit\_to\_remote
.It has also the same html class applied
\<%= link\_to\_remote( “Cancel”,
{:update =\> “search\_kb\_div”,
:url =\> {:controller =\> ‘service\_desk’, :action =\>
‘kb\_result\_cancel\_button’, :id =\> @params[:id]}},
{:class =\> ‘itilbuttonlink1’}) %\>
But it is working properly.Normally a white background and when pointing
out a grey one.Is my way of specifying class to submit\_to\_remote not
right?

It should work. Please check the output html source to see if the
generated input tag has the class attribute. If so, there might be
some issue with your CSS style.

Well as you can see it is setting the class properly so something’s
wrong with your css.

submit\_to\_remote only has 3 arguments:
submit\_to\_remote(name, value, options = {})
Your code has 4 arguments for submit\_to\_remote.
link\_to\_remote is different.
This works for me (Rails 2.0.2) :
\<%= submit\_to\_remote ‘general’, ‘Preview’,
{ :url =\> {:action =\> ‘general\_preview’},
:html =\> {:class =\> ‘submitbutton’}}
%\>
Note that there is one options hash with several sub-hashes, 3
arguments only. My .css file has an entry for ‘.submitbutton’, of
course.

I don’t know what your problem is, but when I have multiple submit
buttons I do it differently and it works. I put the class on a div
around the buttons. But it’s not exactly the same thing, of course.
\<%= link\_to\_remote... %\> ...and so on
