Just to be clear, link_to_remote is part of the Rails *helper* for
prototype. Prototype.js is an extraction from Rails, but it stands
alone, and this list is devoted to prototype as a stand-aline JS
library, not to the Rails helper.
Your question might be answerable in this list if you pastie the code
*generated* by the Rails helper (view source in your browser), but I
don't know if that would translate back into what you need to do
within Rails to get it to do other than it currently does.
