Hello, I have a form which contains a text_area. I would like to be able to access the text in the text_area without submitting the form, is this possible? More details.. The text area is a ''user file'' and when the form is submitted, the users changes in the text_area are saved. I use :onkeypressed => remote_function to make a call to update the view (i want to edit the file name on the web page, to *file name, so the user knows they have to save changes). - Firstly - is there anyway to just execute the call once - as thats all i need.. - Secondly - is there anyway to pass the edited content of the text_area as a string in the remote call to the controller.. - so i can save this seperately?? Any light that you can shed on either firstly or secondly would be very much appreciated..

Hi James, James Smith wrote:> I have a form which contains a text_area. > I would like to be able to access the text > in the text_area without submitting the form> when the form is submitted, the users changes > in the text_area are saved.I''m confused by these two statements. What exactly do you mean by ''without submitting''? Why don''t you want to submit the form? It will probably help if you can describe what you''re trying to accomplish in terms of 1) what happens on the server, and 2) what the visitor sees in their browser.

OK, sorry for the vague description before.. I have a remote form which i submit using ''onsubmit()'' from two different links in my view. I understand that html limits us to only executing a single action when a form is submitted - however i would like to distinguish between which of the links the form has been submitted from.. This is an example of one of the two links that submit my form: <= link_to_remote ''link'', :before => "javascript:myform.onsubmit()" %> Is there a way to pass the form a parameter using this javascript call to submit the form? Hope this is clearer..
