Hello all,
I''m trying to write a jquery function where I am posting some data from
a
form. I am wondering is there a way to select the particular param that I
want to use when I submit the data to $.ajax(). I don''t believe it
makes
sense to create a hidden field just to use with $.ajax() but I can''t
seem
to figure out how to get to the params key/value using jquery.
The code that I am attempting to use is:
$.ajax({
url: "/app/controller/action",
type: "POST",
data: {code : ''param[:value]'' or ??}
});
Can this be done at all? if so, what would be a good approach?
Thanks,
--

That does give me a little more clarity but I guess my question was how do I define my variable with a value that is in params? When I do alert($("#params")) I get a response of object Object. When I do alert($(form.serialize())), I seem to get most of the params values except for the one that I want. It also doesn''t look like its in an array so I can''t chose the element that I want. Granted I am new to jquery and don''t fully understand serialization and a great many other things. I believe the first alert is telling me that I can get to the entire params object using an id of params. But how do I get to the value within it to be able to specify my data variable in my $.ajax() statement?

(in chrome hit f12 and go to console, in firefox use firebug) params is a hash of all the data you are sending, its handled by rails not as an html object Javier Q. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What about security with this kind of implementation, are they secure ? What should you do in order to create safer applications ?
