Hey Ben, So when I put my code snippet in my app, this is the rendered html:
Ruby: <% id = "[email protected]}" %> <%= link_to_remote(@user.login, :update => {:success => "div1", :failure => "div2"}, :url => {:action => :some_action, :id => :some_id}, :before => "Element.show('spinner')", :complete => "Element.hide('spinner'); some_function('#{id}')", :html => {:id => id}) %> HTML: <a onclick="Element.show('spinner'); new Ajax.Updater ({success:'div1',failure:'div2'}, '/content/some_action/some_id', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, onComplete:function(request) {Element.hide('spinner'); some_function('user_1006137')}}); return false;" id="user_1006137" href="#">[email protected]</a> Is this what you are looking for?
