Hi All,

I'm very new to RoR development and am working through the
developer.apple.com tutorials to try to get a good enough working
knowledge to be able to start my own project. Unfortunately, i'm using
Rails 3 and the tutorials are aimed at a Rails 2 environment.

I've been able to get a fair way through the tutorials, working out some
of the simpler changes myself (changes to the routing API were
interesting), but i've hit a point where i'm stuck and google hasn't
been able to help me.

I'm currently working through the "Spicing it up with Ajax" section of
http://developer.apple.com/tools/customizeonrailsleopard.html but am
unable to successfully convert the Rails 2 link_to_remote syntax into
Rails 3. I understand that the method is depreciated and that i should
use link_to with a :remote => true option specified, but the arguments
that i'm supplying don't seem to be being picked up as a Javascript
link. Instead, when i click one of the links, the whole page is
refreshed and the arguments appear in the address bar (instead of an
Ajax call). E.g.
http://localhost:3000/events/4?remote=true&method=delete&confirm=Are+you+sure%3F&url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fevents%2F4%2Fexpenses%2F6

My _expenses.erb event looks like so:

...<% for expense in expenses -%>
  <tr id="<%= dom_id(expense) %>">
    <td>
      <%= link_to expense.vendor.name, expense.vendor %>
    </td>
    <td align="right">
      <%= number_to_currency(expense.amount, :unit => "£") %>
    </td>
    <td>
      <%= link_to 'delete',
        :url => event_expense_url(event, expense),
        :confirm => 'Are you sure?',
        :method => :delete,
        :remote => true %>
    </td>
  </tr>
<% end -%>...

and my application.html.erb file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Expenses</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag :all %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tag %>
</head>
<body>

<%= yield %>

</body>
</html>

I'd be very grateful if anyone could offer some advice. Apologies if the
source code is too long for the forum.

Thanks,
Dave.
