Rails - Mar 2006 - What''s the correct way to use ":with" with link_to_remote?

I''m using Rails 1.0, and I''m trying to setup a link_to_remote
which
takes as a parameter a value computed in javascript.  In order to
accomplish this I''m using this command:

<%= link_to_remote(''TouchUp'', :update =>
''touchup_section'', :url =>
{:action => ''touchup'', :id => @article}, :with =>
"get_selection()" )
%>

This works, but the name of the parameter is whatever is returned by
get_selection (a string).  I can''t see how to name the parameter so
that I might access it in my controller.

Thanks in advance.

Just figured it out.  this works:
<%= link_to_remote(''TouchUp'', :update =>
''touchup_section'', :url =>
{:action => ''touchup'', :id => @article}, :with =>
"''selection='' +
get_selection()" )
%>

(added ''selection='' before the value).
