Facebooker talk - Feb 2009 - passing an object to Ajax callback functions

Hello guys,

As far as I understood, any Ajax calls we want to make should be addressed
directly to the callback server, and not to a canvas page.
This means that we cannot use any facebook-specific data (like the id of the
current user) in the function, which handles the Ajax call. I would
appreciate if you could tell me a convenient way to pass the facebook_user
object to the function, which handles the Ajax call...
I am a bit new to Ruby on Rails, so I''ll be grateful if you can also
write a
small example.

THANKS!

You should still be able to get user information, since Facebook adds  
parameters on ajax calls. I cover this with examples in my book:
