How to use :confirm with button_to and :method :put?

I have some destructive action to be performed, so I think it's Rails way to put such actions behind a PUT or POST (so link_to doesn't work because it only GETs).

I added a button like this:

<%= button_to "Acknowledge", ack_something_path, :method => :put, :confirm => "Sure?" %>

The button works (calls the correct action), but, I can't get Rails to show a "confirm" dialog box.

Any ideas how to do that ?

UPDATE (PROBLEM SOLVED)

I didn't mention that I was including jquery as well as prototype in HEAD (didn't think it would matter). BUT, when I removed jquery, the confirmation dialog was displayed.

Don't know why this happens, but problem is solved (for now anyway). jquery and prototype do not like to work together it seems.

I could show the confirm dialog box when I copy your code to my view.

Did you include correct javascript file in the <head> section? The js file at public/javascripts/rails.js is needed to enable all the js effect in view helper methods.

You can check whether <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> is in the head or not.
