Yes, I tried that:

<%= button_to "Manual Up", :action => "manup" %>

Then, in my controller I have it either rendering nothing or a
partial. But it renders a blank page even though the partial is
embedded deep within divs of another partial. So whether I tell it to
render nothing, or just the deeply-buried partial, it takes me to a
blank page! (I think it is because it is actually a submit. I can
confrim my controller method is being executed_ -Janna
