Rails - May 2006 - Reusing a model to form and link_to.

Hy guys,

Inside my app I have a form which contains user information.

Sometimes a have a form with a text_field as above:

<%= form_remote_tag(:html => { :action => url_for(:controller => 
"my_controller", :action => "my_action") }) %>
      <%= text_field(''my_object'',
''my_parameter'', :maxlength => ''30'' )%>
      <%= submit_tag "Send"%>
<%= end_form_tag %>

In the controller I retrive the information using:

@my_value = params[:my_object][:my_parameter]

OK.

In other parts I have a link_to as:

<%= link_to(user.my_value, :controller => "my_controller",
:action =>
"my_action", XXXXXXX ) %>

How can I change the XXXXXX to have the same behavior as I have previously?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean to have your link submit via ajax?  Then you just use 
link_to_remote.  And you probably shouldn''t be directly setting the 
action value of an ajax form.  You should use this instead and lets the 
helper do its magic.

<%= form_remote_tag(:url => {:controller =>
    "my_controller", :action => "my_action"}) %>
