Passing parameter thru fields_for text_field

Rails
1

Hello all,

I have a helper function called “add_link” which will insert html to a
partial.

  • ProjectsHelper -
    def add_link(name, irb=nil)
    link_to_function name do |page|
    page.insert_html :top, :irbs, :partial => ‘projects/irb’, :object
    => Irb.new, :locals => { :irb_id => irb }
    end
    end

  • _irb.html.erb -

<% new_or_existing = irb.new_record? ? 'new' : 'existing' %> <% prefix = "project[#{new_or_existing}_irb_attributes][]" %> <% error_messages_for :irb %>

<% fields_for prefix, irb do |irb_form| -%>

<%= irb_form.text_field "IRB" %> 

<%= link_to_function "remove", "jQuery(this).fadeOut(500, function()

{ $(this).up(’.irb’).remove(); } );" %>

<% end -%>

How can I pass an id to the text field like the “<%= text_field_tag
“IRB”, irb_id %>”

I would like to display the IRB value in the text field when inserted.

Thanks for any help with this.
