Rails 3 - Thumbs_up - customized button

Question

Hi I've installed the Thumbs_up gem and it works great.

But now I want to do a button that does the same as this.

<%= link_to('vote for this post!', vote_up_retailer_path(@retailer), :remote => true, :method => :post) %>

The problem I got is that I want a image and a text inside the button with the text "Like <%= @retailer.title %>", (like youtubes like button).

The button I have is coded like this.`

<button role="button" class="like">
  <img src="/images/layout/blank.gif"><span>Like <%= @retailer.title %></span>
</button>

How can I accomplish the button with these features in rails3?

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure if i understood that correctly, but to add a variable inside your text, you can do :

link_to "vote for this #{@retailer.title}" ...

For the image you can use image_tag :
