Rails - Mar 2006 - Difficulty with params hash and submit_to_remote

Hi,

Is there any trick to initializing the params hash via submit_to_remote()?  I 
have a form with two submit methods - the regular, non-AJAX method, and the 
AJAX method.  The regular method works like a champ.  The submit_to_remote 
invokes the correct controller, but the params hash is empty except for the 
values for :action and :controller.
 
I''d show my code, but it''s on an internal network and I
can''t cut-and-paste.

Thanks,

-stan

Nothing magic here, just add the other parameters to the remote_function  
or link_to_remote calls like this..

<%= link_to_remote "Link",
:update=>''updatediv'',
:controller=>''controller'',
:action=>''action", :id=>object.id, :other
=>''other stuff'' %>

Things like other should now be in the params array for the recieving action

ok, I''m confused (but I *am* a newbie!). I thought the whole idea with 
submit_to_remote() was to make the contents of a form available to the 
controller in the params hash, just as if I had submitted it via 
non-AJAX form.  Otherwise, I could have just called link_to_remote() 
instead.

Any suggestions?

It would help if I actually read your question right.

Take a close look at the API for submit_to_remote... if you also read  
the docs for form_remote_tag.  This indicates that there is a way to set  
it up to fallback to a normal submit if JS is disabled.  You shouldn''t
need wo submit mechanisms.

I haven''t actually used this yet, so I can''t help much more
than that.

Kevin,

Thanks.  Believe it or not, it was a missing </div> tag in the view that 
was preventing the form values from being passed.

Hi guys,

i''ve got the same problem. But in my situation I have to send values of
text-inputs via submit_to_remote() to my controller. I don''t know how
to
get the value of this text-input:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete(:vorgang, :bez, {:value =>
''****''},
{:skip_style => true} ) %>

to my controller:

def filterDatensatz()
  tmp = params[:vorgang][:bez]
  my_redirect_to(:action => ''list'', :tmp => tmp)
end

params[:vorgang] is always nil.

Can you help me?

Greetings
Chris

try something like this:

rhtml:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :person, :nachname, {},
  {
   :select => ''name'',
   :after_update_element =>
     "function(element,value) " +
     "{ " +
     remote_function(:update=>''Kundendaten'',
       :url=>{:action=>:update_kundendaten},
       :with=>"''adr_id=''+value.id") +
";" +
     "}"
  }
  %>

controller:
def update_kundendaten
  #params[:adr_id] should be ok in controller
end

but with this solution i have the problem that the autocomplete is only
working on IE.
FF wont show the autocomplete popup. :(

HTH
