Rails - Dec 2005 - AJAX + Ruby on rails

Hi all ,
    I was trying the AJAX example given by Curt hibbs 
(http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/06/09/rails_ajax.html) .In the 
example it was putting a list item in the list .I tried adding a new 
text box (input tag ) . I was successfull in adding the text boxes into 
the table when the button was clicked .But I am in doubt on how can I 
capture the contents of the text boxes and add those to my database 
.Also when i took the view source of the page I can see that there is no 
input tags or id values to be used.
 Please help me out in uunderstanding what will be the name/id of the 
controls created by the form_remote_tag() .

Please help me out ,

Thanx and regards,
Naroor Rathish

Hi,
use the form_remote_tag''s :update  parameter to indicate what DOM
element to
update and
and use its :url to decide what to call on ur server. I cant remember the
exact syntax but it goes like this ..like a regular form except that the
form_remote uses Ajax.Updater to send the serialized form data.
the ''submit'' method in your controller should update your
database

<%form_remote_tag :update => ''someid'' , :url =>
{:controller => ''form''
,:action =>''submit'' } %>
<% text_field  "id"  "Enter Text" %>
<%submit "submit" %>
<%end_form_tag>

Read the docs..its pretty well explain there.

Hi Vivek,
    Thanx for the reply.But I think my question is not clear .Please 
visit the site http://blinksale.com/ and register for a free trial.When 
you login you can see the JAX effect that I am trying to re create.
    Also The ajax please go through the ajax effect at 
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/06/09/rails_ajax.html .Both 
using form_remote_tag() and link_to_remote() .I tried form_remote_tag() 
.

Please let me know your ideas.

Thanx and regards,
Naroor Rathish
