I have a form to edit a page, with its nice save button. Since it''s in textile I''m writing a preview button which renders the content to html and put it in a div. But, how can I pass to the remote function the current content of the text area? something like this remote function( update => mydiv, ulr => (:action => textiler), arguments => (text => textarea.value) ) of course that doesn''t work, just to make myself understood bye thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Try something like this...
# In the view
link_to_remote ''Select'',
:url => {:action => ''generate_preview''},
:with => "''text_area_value='' +
document.getElementById(''someTextAreaID'').value"
# In the controller
def generate_preview
textAreaValue = params[''text_area_value'']
#other_stuff
end
The :with option isn''t very well documented... It works with
link_to_remote, but doesn''t seem to work with form_remote. It might
work with some button_* helpers, or whatever... I don''t know.
