In the case of link\_to\_remote, you have to pass each paramter back. A  
better idea would be to use form\_remote\_tag which sends back all the  
form parameters.

actually there is a trick in the middle of both worlds… you declare  
your form with a form\_remote\_tag, then you make a link\_to\_function to  
fire the onsubmit of the form. That way you are getting all the  
arguments of the form serialized without doing it yourself.

You can :submit option of link\_to\_remote.

If you want to submit a table called my\_table contains fields just use  
this

\<%= link\_to\_remote( “\<input type=button value=Submit style=‘font-size:  
1.0em;’”,  
:submit =\> “my\_table”,  
:url =\> {:controller =\>  
“controller”, :action =\> “action”} ) %\>

wtih this inputs in the table are serialized and posted as form.
