Rails - May 2006 - Submit_tag question

Can I pass additional parameters when using a submit_tag?  

Is this legal?

     <%= submit_tag ''Save'' , { :editfacility =>
params["editfacility"] }
%>


When I do this, the "editfacility" parameter is always lost.  I have a
feeling I''m missing something basic...

Thanks,
Marcus

You want a hidden_field, submit button only submits the form.
