Rails
1

Hi
i have form like

<%= text_field_tag 'transfer_reason' %>
Should fill description
<%= link_to_remote "#{flow_item.action_name}", { :success => "modal_window_for_transfer_reason.close();", :failure => "$('description_nil_div').show( )", :url => { :action => :edit_service_desk_status_after_transfer, :sd_id => @sd_ticket.id, :status_id => flow_item.flow_item_id, } }, :class => "itlink1"%>

How can I pass the text_field transfer_reason with link_to_remote

Thanks in advance

Use the :with option

use the :with parameter:

something like:
:with => “‘transfer_reason=’ + $(‘transfer_reason’).value”
should work

Hi
Thanks for your help…I could solve with :submit option of
link_to_remote

:with is good for one or two fields; :submit is better if you have an
HTML container (e.g., div) that contains several input elements that
need to be submitted.

If you’re still rendering input forms in tables, you could use the
table or tablerow as the container. It might be good for the long-
term maintenance of the project to pick one way and favor that even if
it is less than optimal for one or two instances.
