Access variables in controller from link_to_remote

Rails
1

This is really easy and simple but…

I have
view <%=link_to_remote ‘this’, {:url=>{:action=>‘action’}, :with =>
“‘name=’ + $(‘text_field_id’).value” } %>

When I’m in the controller, how do I access the variable ‘name’? I
thought it was params[:name] but that returns nil…

Thanks

look in your logs (presumably log/development.log) to see what it was
that was posted back to your controller.

In particular that will screw up if your text field contains an
ampersand. You should use encodeURIComponent to guard against that.
