I have this code:

```
    <b>Repuestos</b><br />

```

 \<% @rp\_parts.each do |rp\_part| %\> \> \<%= rp\_part.name%\> \<% end %\> 

\<% form\_remote\_tag :url =\> { :action =\> :add\_to\_repair, :id =\>  
@repair\_ticket.id, :aaaa =\> @repair\_ticket.rp\_item } do %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag “Add repair\_part” %\>  
\<% end %\>

I don’t know how to send the rp\_part.name from :aaaa. Is is possible  
outside a form like the form in new.rhtml?

Hi John,  
I was originally going to try and correct your code, but perhaps a  
sample app is easier  
Please download from [http://www.authomedia.co.uk/dev/repairs.zip](http://www.authomedia.co.uk/dev/repairs.zip) and  
see how you get on. The models might not be quite what you have, but  
it shows a simple RESTful controller setup with a HABTM join table and  
AJAX create/destroy associations.

Should put you back on track

Joe

Ok, thrank you very much. I think this simple app will be very helpful  
and will be the new base for my project. Anyway, does anybody know if I  
can do something with my code? For now on, I only want to know it in  
order to gain experience.
