You can use a standard URL query string. Separate the parameters with  
an ampersand

Have a look at the docs & see if you can use :submit instead of :with.  
That lets you, e.g., submit everything in a particular

, all  
packaged up in params–very easy…

Thanks Christopher, that’s what I was looking for.

Another related question:

Requirement Title:\<%= form.text\_field :title, :value =\> params[:title],  
:name=\>“title” %\>  
\<%= link\_to\_remote “Check”, :url =\> { :action =\>  
:check\_req\_title }, :with=\>"‘title\_search=’ + $(‘title’).value" %\>

Does that pass params[:title\_search] = the value of the text\_field?

Thanks!
