Sorry about the previous aborted post.. Here is the full post.
I have a link_to_remote call that works as expected (using Rails 2.3.2):
<%= link_to_remote "-", { :url => { :action =>
:remove_from_cart, :id =>
cart_item.product} }, { :href => url_for(:action => :remove_from_cart,
:id => cart_item.product) } %>
It fallsback correctly when javascript is not enabled.
However, substituting with button_to_remote, does not behave correctly:
<%= button_to_remote "-", { :url => { :action =>
:remove_from_cart, :id
=> cart_item.product} }, { :href => url_for(:action =>
:remove_from_cart, :id => cart_item.product) } %>
With javascript enabled it works fine. But if javascript disabled, the
fallback :href url is not followed. I.e. it does not work.
Has anybody encountered this problem. Aren''t both meant to have exactly
the same options?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Definetely it won''t work, just because standalone buttons should not do anything when javascript is disabled. That''s by design. Dmitry

I was lulled by the description in the API docs, believing that it says the button_to_remote behaves the same as link_to_remote. With hindsight and closer reading, it only says that the :url and callbacks are the same (ie silent on the Javascript degradation). Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
