With the move to Google groups, is the spinoffs list now going to get all Ruby stuff or was this just a case of mistaken list identity?

The former creates a normal, old-fashioned link:
             <a href="">
The latter creates an Ajax'ed link, clicking of which will trigger an
XmlHttpRequest call:
             <a href="" id="flag_link_6" >Ajax.Request('/flags/create/6', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true}); return false;" title="Flag this content as
inappropriate.">Flag</a>

Neither of them do that. They are just helpers that produce html (see
above). One creates a normal link, the other an Ajax link.

You can only use RJS templates for Ajax stuff, so link_to_remote is
what you're looking for.
