[Facebooker-talk] Trouble with link_to_remote in Facebooker

This has led me to another question.. how do I get the :loading param to
work with link_to_remote? That is, when the user clicks on the link, I want
it to replace the div with "Updating..." while it's updating.  Right now I
have this in my view:

<p>Ajax test - link_to_remote</p>
<%=link_to_remote('update it',
  :update => 'foo',
  :loading => "fb_replace_with_busy('foo')",
  :url => info_ajax_update_url(:canvas => false)
) %>

<div id='foo'>Original Text</div>

and in my application.js file, which I include after including
facebooker.js, I have:

function fb_replace_with_busy(div_id) {
  $(div_id).setTextValue("Updating...");
}

(I also tried setInnerXHTML but that didn't work either).

I don't see any errors in Firebug..

Thanks,
Bryan
