Hi,  
please any one tell me how can i pass the  
text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete value into link\_to\_remote in view. Here  
are the coding in view .  
\<%= text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :game, :title%\>

link\_to\_remote(“Find”, :url =\> {:controller =\> ‘account’, :action =\>  
“findyourgame”},:with =\>"‘game[title]=’$(‘game\_title’).value")

In my account controller : i have a action called “findyougame”

def findyourgame  
## i here couldn’t get the value like params[:game][:title].  
end

Can any one please tell me how can i pass the text value and get in my  
controller by using link\_to\_remote. not form submit.

Your with clause is messed up (it needs to be syntactically correct  
javascript). You’re probably get a javascript error somewhere when you  
click on the link.  
Something like “‘game[title]=’ + $(‘game\_title’).value”  
would probably work better.
