Link to remote allows you to add additional html attributes to the tag:

link\_to\_remote “Delete this post”, :update =\> “posts”, :url =\> { :action =\> “destroy”, :id =\> [post.id](http://post.id) },

{:href =\> url\_for(…)}

Note the href above.

Using tabs i had to put in the class name in to link\_to\_remote BTW. just to understand this definition for link\_to\_remote

name, options = {}, html\_options = {} - which means that there are 2 types of options there which to be used like that { :update =\> "div\_name", :url =\> {...}} and html\_options {:class =\> "class\_name",:href =\> url\_for(..)}

So thats how I put in my class name

\<%= link\_to\_remote "Parent", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{:update =\> "tabs",:url =\> {:action =\> "show\_parent"}}, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{:class =\> "active"} %\> BTW, if you are to disable class parameter you can send in nil ( :class =\> nil )

Note: Thats was not intended as tutorial - just something for me to remember in the future.
