title: making POST request in rails with hyperlinks
body: <p>I need a bunch of links on a page each of which makes a POST to a different controller. But when I use normal links, I get a ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken error. I understand this is because of the missing authenticity_token value. But I don't want to use forms to do the POST because I want them to be links and not buttons. Fact is, I want complete control over the styling of the links and buttons just don't do it for me. What's the standard way of doing such things?</p>
