Rails - Feb 2006 - form_remote_tag params not passed .. PLEASE help!

This problem is driving me nuts

Here is my code for the view:

<div class="signW">
<div class="sign">
coming soon! <br/>
<div class="stxt">
Email address:
</div>
<div id="result">
</div>
<%= form_remote_tag(:update => ''result'',
                        :url => { :controller =>
''launch'', :action =>
''process_email'' },
                        :with => "''blah='' +
escape(value)",
                        :complete =>
"Element.hide(''eid'');Element.hide(''sub'');Element.show(''result'')",
                        :position => "top") %>
        <input type="text" id="eid" name="blah"
value="" />
        <input type="submit" id="sub"
name="commit" value="Sign Up"/>
<%= end_form_tag %>

Here is my controller code:

class LaunchController < ApplicationController
        layout "launch-layout"
       def index
       end
       def process_email
                render_text @params.inspect
       end
end

It only prints out {"action"=>"process_email",
"controller"=>"launch"}

The parameters DONT SHOW UP!!!

I have <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> in my layout.

where am I screwing up????


PLEASE HELP!

what is even more scary is the production.log generates the following

Processing LaunchController#process_email (for x.u.x.h at 2006-02-23 
16:26:50) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"process_email",
"controller"=>"launch"}
Response body was encoded with gzip
Completed in 0.00327 (305 reqs/sec) | 200 OK

Doesnt show the parameters! is something wrong with my view code??

You probably want

                :with => "''blah='' +
escape($F(''blah''))",

or remove the :with option and escape at the server.

:with was added to see if the parameter would be passed .. The problem 
is this requested should be generating a POST on the server its 
generating a GET! Weird!

Ah, OK.  Look at the source of the generated HTML to make sure prototype
is being included.
