Rails - Jul 2005 - Applying css style to a link_to

What is the proper syntax to apply a css class to a link created using
link_to?

I''ve tried

<%= link_to("details", :class => "details", :action
=> "edit", :id => event)
%>

but that creates a link which looks like 

/admin/events/edit/3?class=details

which is not what I''m looking for.

<%= link_to ("remove", {:action => "remove_piece", :id
=>
@repertoire_list.id, :piece_to_remove => replist_piece.id}, {:class =>
''linkCommand'', :confirm => "Are you sure?  This will
remove this
piece."}) %>

This works.  Must be the extra braces...

Right. The reason is that link_to takes normally three parameters [1]:  
name, options and html_options, of which the two latter are hashes.  
Therefore, if you use html_options (the stuff that come into the anchor  
tag, like class, id etc), you *need* to use the curly braces to  
separate the two hashes. Otherwise all key => value pairs are  
considered to be part of the first (options) hash.
