Is it possible to load pre-existing data into a form with form_remote_tag? I am trying to load the data for a Person object into the partial ''name_form'' through a link in another partial ''name_list''. However, the ''name_form'' partial renders without any data. Any idea how I might get this to work? (http://pastie.caboo.se/94816) (_name_list.rhml) <% for personname in @person.current_names %> <%= link_to_function ''personname.name'', :action => ''update_name'', :id => @person_name, :onclick => "Element.show(''update_name'')"%> <% end %> (person/show.rhtml) <%= render :partial => ''name_list'', :object => @person %> <div id="update_name" style="display:none;"> <% form_remote_tag (:url => {:action => ''update_name'', :id => @person_name}) do %> <%= render :partial => ''name_form'' %> <%= submit_tag ''Update'' %> <% end %> </div> (persons_controller.rb) class PeopleController < ApplicationController def update_name id = params[:id] @person_name = ClaimantName.find(params[:id]) end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
