Thank you! Your referral to the API for the link_to led to this: Note that if the user has JavaScript disabled, the request will fall back to using GET. I was really on the wrong track! I recently upgraded to Rails 3.2 and most of my Javascript stopped working. I was going to try to figure out why after solving this current problem but I guess I have to move on to the Javascript issues... Thank you for your help!!
