Hi, I''m having a bit of a struggle with link_to_remote. Everything works exactly as I want it, but the problem is that I want to add another attribute to the <a>-tag, namely class="". Long story short, I want specific links to look differently from others, but all of them being link_to_function. Normally, I''d do this with adding a class="foo" to
