Accessing form array when errors display

Rails
1

Is there a way to access (from JavaScript preferably) the form array of
the information sent when errors are display? I want to be able to find
out what values were selected on the form before errors.

Maybe I can expand on this a little bit and someone can point me in the
right direction. I have a select menu, when something is selected in
that menu another select menu gets filled. Everything works fine until
there is an error on the page and when the errors are displayed those
select menus that were filled via AJAX are now blank. So what I have
done is I have used AJAX.Updater to force the redisplay of the select
menus depending on what is selected in the others, now I need to see
which one was previously selected (in the AJAX’ed menus) so that I can
set them as selected again. Does this make sense? Am I going about
this the wrong way?
