i have a link to remote and i need to pass two values provided by select  
boxes to it, a language, and a page count (hits per page to be  
paginated) how do i get the code below to send both arguments??

\<%= link\_to\_remote “#{element}”, :update =\> “a\_z\_replace”, :loading =\>  
“Element.show(‘a\_z\_indicator’)”, :loaded =\>  
“Element.hide(‘a\_z\_indicator’)”, :url =\> {:action =\> ‘a\_z\_search’, :ltr  
=\> “#{element}”},

:with =\> “‘a\_z\_language=’+$(‘selectbox’).value &&  
‘page\_count=’+$(‘page\_count’).value” %\>|

Rails 2.0.2, both arguments are individually valid expressions and i can  
get them to do what i want, but i don’t know how to concatenate them  
into a single expression

Thanks,  
Richard

Your with fragment should evaluate to a valid query string fragment.  
I’ve got some examples of this at
