I have created a test for kids to take online. Right now I have all the navigation going through a submit button of a form. So, when a child hits the submit button it saves the response and redirects to the next question. The question I have is the customer wants a top navigation as well where you can click on numbers representing the questions and have the answer saved and redirected to the question corresponding to the number they clicked. I have the navigation at the top but dont know how to submit the form from the link. Is there a way to add an onclick event to the link that submits a form with a given id or something along those lines?

Thanks Bill, I have been using google to look this up and I can''t get
anything to work so I was hoping someone would throw out a new idea.
When I use the link_to_remote everything works as far as passing the
form data over and saving the responses to the database but none of the
parameters seem to get passed over properly. When I check the db the
results are saved but the page never redirects to a new question.
VIEW
<%= link_to_remote ''Next Question'', :url =>
{:action => ''next'',
:question => @question.id}, :submit => "response" %>
<div id="response">
<%= render :partial => ''t'' + @question.section_id.to_s
%>
</div>
Controller
def next
question = Question.find(params[:question])
...save response...
redirect_to(:action => ''test'', :question =>
question.next_question_id)
end
When I change the link_to_remote to link_to the navigation works fine
and the page redirects properly. When I add the _remote the page never
refreshes to a new question.
Any ideas what is going on here or is there any other way to submit a
form with a link?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris, Chris Hickman wrote:> When I change the link_to_remote to link_to the > navigation works fine and the page redirects properly. > When I add the _remote the page never refreshes to > a new question.OK. Maybe I''m misunderstanding something here but if link_to works fine, why don''t you use it?> Any ideas what is going on here or is there any other >mway to submit a form with a link?The reason link_to_remote isn''t working for you is that it creates an Ajax request. Your view is an html response and the browser ignores it. If, for whatever reason, you really want to use link_to_remove, you''re going to have to return a response the browser expects. I found Cody Fauser''s tutorial on Ajax, available at O''Reilly, an excellent bargain.

> OK.

The problem is I need to submit the form when I move to another page. So, I tried to ask how to submit a form using a link. This way I could click the link, submit the form, and redirect to the next page. I was told to use link_to_remote. I tried using this and it works to submit the form but the method I am calling is suppose to redirect to a new question after submitting the form using params[:question]. This is not working. So, if I could somehow combine the two to have the submitting of the form work and the redirect I would be all set. I''m sorry if I am hard to understand. Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Chris, I have 2 suspicions and I will raise them, they might be the solution to your problem: 1)The submit: argument specifies the id that''s used as the parent of the form elements. Now your form I suppose is in the partial. Have you tried to use form_remote_for directly inside the partial instead of link_to_remote? link_to works fine because it generates an href tag, link_to_remote is not comparable at all because it generate an hxr request. The redirect_to in the controller will forward you to the next question. 2)are you sure you have the correct settings in your routes.rb for the :question variable to represent pages of an action? To sum up, I think your problem would best be solved by removing the link_to_remote line and put a form_remote_for in your partial with the same arguments you supplied for the link_to_remote except for the :submit argument which you should remove. Also, make sure in your controller to write redirect_to(:action => ''next'',.... instead of redirect_to(:action => ''test'', ! I hope it helps! Cheers, Amanda .. wrote:> > > >> OK.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I will look into the form_remote_for and give it a shot.> > Also, make sure in your controller to write redirect_to(:action => > ''next'',.... instead of redirect_to(:action => ''test'', ! >The action ''next'' doesn''t have a view, it just saves the response and redirects to action ''test'' with a new :question to view. There is a lot more code in the method I just tried to simplify it for questioning.

Ok, I am going to try to restate my question and hopefully it will make more sense. I have several textareas on the screen (anywhere from 1 - 5). Right now I have them in a form and am using a submit button to pass the values to the controller. What I need to do is pass these values to the controller using links located outside of the actual form. When the link is click the values from the textareas are passed to the controller along with a :question parameter. The values of the textareas are saved into the db and the :question param is used in a query and then the page is redirected to another page with the result from the query as another param. The part I cannot seem to find an answer for is how to pass the values of the textareas to the controller using link_to(). So, I was trying to find out how to submit the form using a link and then just pass the :question param with it and have it all work. The link_to_remote wouldn''t allow me to redirect to another page based on the :question param. I really hope that made more sense.
