Does anyone know if it''s possible to generate a link_to with :post
=>
true and have extra params that do *not* appear in the url but still get
passed to the controller. i.e.
link_to { :controller => ''things'', :action =>
''update'', :id => @thing,
:translucency => 42 }, :post => true
generates a post to the url
/things/update/1?translucency=42
Looking at the source, I can see where rails is generating the imaginary
form (f) with javascript
var f = document.createElement(''form'');
this.parentNode.appendChild(f); f.method = ''POST''; f.action =
this.href; f.submit();
It doesn''t seem far fetched (to me) for Rails to be able to keep going
and add an element to that form with something like...
h = document.createElement(''input''); h.type =
''hidden''; h.name = ''translucency'', h.value =
42; f.appendChild(h)
so that the url would simply become...
/things/update/1
I know that I could just create the form myself, but that''s not as fun
as having Rails do all the work for me. ;-)
