-<!-- Provides either an ajax or non-ajax button to invoke a "remote method" or "web method" declared in the controller.

-`<remote-method-button>` supports all of the standard ajax attributes (see the main taglib documention for Rapid
-Forms). If any ajax attributes are given, the button becomes an ajax button, if not, Rails' `button_to` is used, which behaves similarly to a standard link.

 ### Attributes
 
+Either method or url must be specified.
+
  - method: the name of the web-method to call
 
  - label: the label on the button
 
+ - url: use this url instead of looking it up
