Thanks for the tip! I use jQuery in my project, so I wrote an equivalent to your Prototype script:

$(“form.button-to”).each(function () {
var form = $(this);
var input = form.find(“input[type=submit]“);
// “button-to” class is not added here, you might want to do that
var link = $(‘‘);
link.html(input.val());
link.attr(“href”, form.attr(“action”));
// html options specified in button_to will be added to the input element
link.attr(“class”, input.attr(“class”));
link.click (function () {
form.submit();
return false;
});
form.after(link);
form.hide();
});

Maybe someone finding this can make use of it, too.

Also a rails fan. And think there is indeed an alternative solution to the ‘javascript needed’ problem I bumped into this as well way back when playing with rails for the first time here http://walter.schreppers.com/index.php?page=blogpost&pos=53

Not sure if it still applies basically you add an extra href option to the link tag:
{ :action => :delete_from_cart, :id => cart_item.product } ,
:href => { :action => :delete_from_cart, :id => cart_item.product }
)
%>

Apart from that I really enjoyed your rails tips and insights as much as Ryan Bates advice, keep up the good work!
Soon I will try to post how to do a proper upload progress bar with jQuery & mod_progress for apache in a rails app. You can see the demo app here : http://vet.sitweb.eu.

Cya!
