Hello :-),

i want to use ‘link\_to\_remote’ to create a simple form on the website.  
The form is a simple editor to post a comment to an article. I need to  
know the article\_id in the new view/controller. With ‘render’  
everything works fine, but ‘link\_to\_remote’ doesnt work with :params :-  
(

here is my code of the article view:

 \<%= link\_to\_remote("new comment", :update =\> 'editor', :url =\> new\_comment\_path, :params =\> {:article\_id =\> @article.id}) %\>

My db layout: [http://erdbeere.net/media/db\_layout.png](http://erdbeere.net/media/db_layout.png)

If anyone have an idea i would be happy to read it^^. I used google to  
find any useful information, but i failed. The only parameter I found  
is ‘:with’, but it looks, that it is only for javascript.

Have a nice day,  
Patrick

Try passing them in your url options.

i.e.

… :url =\> { :action =\> post\_new\_comment, :article\_id =\>  
@article.id} …
