Rails - Apr 2008 - How to: use one form for updating an entry which the user specifies by.e.g., click on it.

Hello, thank you for paying attention to my post! So basically, I have
a list of entries:
<% for x in Chore.find(:all) %>
<li><%= x.title %></li>
<% end %>

<%= form_tag :url => {:controller => ''chore'', :action
=> ''update''} do
%>
<%= text_field_tag :title %>
<%= submit_tag %>
<% end %>

Let''s say, one chore entry is spelled incorrectly and I would like to
change it, could I do something as clicking on the title and then it
shows up in the text field, then I change the spelling and hit submit?

The difficulty I encountered is how one passes the "id" to the URL so
that the update "knows" whom to update.

Thank You A Million!!

Yeah, take a look into in-place editing.
