Question

I have the following link_to methods:

<%= link_to "Vote up",   :url => {:controller => :votes, :action => :vote_up, :id => i.id},
                         :update => "total_value_#{i.id}",
                         :remote => true %>
<%= link_to "Vote down", :url => {:controller => :votes, :action => :vote_down, :id => i.id},
                         :update => "total_value_#{i.id}", 
                         :remote => true %>

I think there are some parts where I need {} or (). But I’m not sure where.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

I get no syntax errors just this strange URL:

http://localhost:3000/?remote=true&update=total_value_29&url%5Baction%5D=vote_up&url%5Bcontroller%5D=votes&url%5Bid%5D=29

The link should trigger the action in the controller.
