Hi list,

I’m writing a little survey application, and surveys are generated  
dynamically. I use form\_remote\_tag and AJAX to submit the form to a  
method ‘submit’ in my ‘survey’ controller.

The view generates the form as:

 Question 1? Question 2? etc...

How can I access the array/object ‘resultset’ in my submit action in  
the survey controller? I’ve tried using @resultset in the ‘submit’  
view or params[:resultset] in the ‘submit’ action, both seem to be  
nil.

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance!

params[:resultset] is what you want. Try using params[:resultset]  
[‘1’] instead of params[:resultset][1]. (notice the number 1 in quotes)

Ah, I think I know what the problem is. I should have some resultset  
defined in the ‘show’ method for the view first.

But text\_field etc. work with @object.method, and not with for example  
@array[id]. Is there any way of doing the latter thing?

TIA
