I want to submit a form using link\_to. I dont want to use \<%=  
submit\_tag “Add” %\>. Instead of that i want to create a “link\_to  
“Add”, …”. so please let me know how to make it. I also want to  
use an image for delete link. How i should do that?

Hi Sumeru,  
You can do that by giving your form an id (or enclose it in a

 with  
an id, and adding :submit =\> ‘\<id of the form/div\>’ in the link\_to  
parameters.  
I don’t know what HTTP action it defaults to, but you can also specify  
that by using :html =\> { :method =\> :post}.

Good luck!
