Rails - Jul 2006 - How to pass javascript variables to a method

Hello,

I''m trying to pass a record''s ID, latitude, and longitude from
javascript variables to a method in my controller. I keep getting an 
Application Error and I don''t know why. Here''s what I have in
my
javascript code:

 <% @rID = capture do %>id<% end %>
 <% @rLAT = capture do %>place.Point.coordinates[1]<% end %>
 <% @rLONG = capture do %>place.Point.coordinates[0]<% end %>
 <%= updatecoordinates(@rID, @rLAT, @rLONG) %>

On the controller end, I have the following:

def updatecoordinates(id, lat, long)
Bookstore.update(id, {:latitude => lat, :longitude=> long})
end

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Williams
