This is the simplified code : <input type="text" id="activity_lookup" name="activity_lookup" /> <div class="auto_complete" id="activity_lookup_auto_complete"></div> <%= link_to '' Search '', :action => ''show_activity'', :name => ???%> I would like to pass the name as a parameter to my action. The name should be the value of the input field with id ''activity_lookup''. I did not find a solution on how to do this :s include javascript ? javascipt_tag ? (tried this, but did not do the job ... ) As you will guess : I am using this bit of code for an auto complete field (example from the rails recipes book) Is there a nice way to do this ? Am I looking in the wrong direction and is it much easier ? Thx for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Dieter,
this is working for me:
<%= link_to ''Search'', {:action =>
''show_activity'', :name => ''Dieter'' }
%>
Note: Check how to pass arguments to "link_to" in
http://api.rubyonrails.org/
In your case it''s take name as the html_options so it will rendered as
an attribute of <a> tag like this
<a href="http://example.com/controller/some_action"
name="dieter"/>
I guess this answers your question.

I want to pass the value of the input field with id "activity_lookup" Whay you are saying is something very static. I was thinking in the direction of : :name => javascript_tag(''document.elementById("activity_lookup").value'') But that doesn''t work. The ''name'' I want to pass is the value of the input field ... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
