Rails - May 2009 - button_to_remote syntax

Hey

I''m trying to make a button_to_remote that also has an associated
style.

It works fine as a button_to:
  <%= button_to "Paid", has_paid_event_booking_path(booking,
booking.event), :method => :post,  :style =>
"background:url(/images/money_add.png) left no-repeat; padding-left:
15px"  %>

but then when I change it to button_to_remote:
<%= button_to_remote "Paid", has_paid_event_booking_path(booking,
booking.event), :method => :post, :before =>
"Effect.Fade(''not_paid_" +
booking.id.to_s + "'')",:style =>
"background:url(/images/money_add.png)
left no-repeat; padding-left: 15px"  %>

with the above code, the :before is ignored

So, I change the path to a :url hash:
<%= button_to_remote "Paid", :url =>
has_paid_event_booking_path(booking, booking.event), :method => :post,
:before => "Effect.Fade(''not_paid_" + booking.id.to_s +
"'')",:style =>
"background:url(/images/money_add.png) left no-repeat; padding-left:
15px"  %>

and then the :before works, but now the style is ignored!

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance

html options need to be in a second hash of options, ie
button_to_remote ''Foo'', {...}, {...}
