Folks,

I have a rhtml page (page A) that links to another page (page B), and I  
want to pass some parameters from page A to page B.

Here is the link code (on page A):  
\<%= link\_to ‘Edit’, { :action =\> ‘edit’, :id =\> permit }, :post =\> true  
%\>

If I want to pass a parameter “name” and a value “marcus”, and pick it  
up on page B, how is this done?

Thanks,  
Marcus
