Dear Dogen,
Rather then using the link_to_remote use remote_function
(http://pylonshq.com/docs/module-webhelpers.rails.prototype.html#remote_function)
I think that will do what you want it to do. However you may run into
the same problem that I had when I did exactly the same thing your doing
(linking to a remote function from javascript) which was I was unable to
pass data from the javascript to the remote_function so I actually took
the text that was generated by the remote_function and simply inserted
that into my javascript. So in my javascript I added this:
new Ajax.Request('<% url_for(action='do_something', var='');
%>'+someJavascriptVariable, {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})
