Rails - Jun 2006 - How to send post data with link_to_remote?

Hi,

I''m trying to send a post body with my link_to_remote call.

Prototype supports the ''postBody'' option, but I can''t
seem to get
link_to_remote to set that.

Here''s what I''m trying:

link_to_remote ''move up'',
   :url => { :controller => ''upload'', :action =>
''position_ajax'', :id =>
upload.id },
   :method => ''post'',
   :postBody => ''amount=-1''

But no dice.

I looked at the source for <a 
href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb">prototype_helper.rb</a>
and it looks like postBody is not in the supported options hash.

Or is the idea that I create a dummy form and associate the 
link_to_remote with that?

Ah, :with. That looks good.

Now we just need this added to the docs. There''s a little blurb on
:with
in the API docs for observe_field...

Thanks Peter!
