link_to_remote style

I am trying to use link_to_remote to update a div tag with some content. This part works fine. The thing I am having an issue with is that I am trying to format this link with a 'class' tag and it is being ignored. Can anyone shed some light on this? I have tried brackets in different places with different options and tried other variations with no luck. I am guessing my brackets are wrong but every time I move them my app breaks. Thanks in advance

here is the snippet of code i am using: <%= link_to_remote(foo.title, :update =>"show_me", :url => {:action => "show", :id=>foo.id}, :class => "foo_style") %>

I think you’ll need to use two hashes, like so:

<%= link_to_remote foo.title,

{ :update =>“show_me”, :url => {:action => “show”, :id=> foo.id} },

{ :class => “foo_style” } %>

Yeah the two hashes did the trick, thanks.

And because of Ruby syntactic sugar, you can omit the braces from the last hash (only), so this is equivalent:

  <%= link_to_remote foo.title,     { :update =>"show_me", :url => {:action => "show", :id=>foo.id} },     :class => "foo_style" %>
