Hi,

I’m using link\_to\_remote to trigger an ajax zone, but  
depends on a varaible, the new zone has different  
features. before I has a button inside a form. so when  
I click on the button, I get the value of the variable  
inside “params”. but since I use link\_to\_remote now, I  
don’t get any value from params anymore… Is there  
some way I can get the data inside a form with  
link\_to\_remote function???

Thanks you very much

Saiho

See parameter :with of link\_to\_param function. You could pass any valid  
Javascript function  
i.e. :with=\>"‘value’+$F(‘whatever’)"

Hi, thanks you very much for thew information, but I  
don’t really understand where I should start, I looked  
for a function “link\_to\_param” in rails api, but I  
didn’t find it… can you tell me where I should  
go???

Thanks you very much!!!

Hi, Saiho.

Sorry, I made a typo. Of course link\_to\_remote  
And :with param you pass any additional parameter that you want to send  
to  
server. So if you have some element (for example button) and you would  
like  
to pass value of this element then you could do it with following  
snippet

link\_to\_remote(… :with=\>"‘some\_param\_name’ + $F(‘some\_element\_id’)")

I hope that it is exactly you’ve asked.
