Button_to_remote and control values

Rails
#1

I have a partial that has a button_to_remote on it wherein a method in
my controller is appropriately executed. In the same partial, but not
in any I have a select box with the id of “notesboxselect.”

Is there any way I can pass the text of what is in this select box, to
the method in my controller called by the button_to_remote? Thanks,
Janna B

<%=button_to_remote “Manual Up”,
:url => { :action => “manup” },
:update => “insideuplog”
%>

Sounds like the easiest option here would be the :submit option of
the various *_remote helpers

button_to_remote takes the same options as link_to_remote. I believe
the following will do what you want.

<%=button_to_remote “Manual Up”,
:url => { :action => “manup” },
:submit => “notesdiv”

Fred, you are SO the man. How do you KNOW all this stuff??? If I work
with this for 5 years I won’t know what you know. -Janna B.
