I am trying to pass the result from a javascript function along with
the result from a text_field with form_remote_tag. This is what I
have so far, but no go:
<% form_remote_tag(:url => {:controller =>
''requests'', :action =>
''create''}, :with =>
"''data=''+request()", :update =>
''request_sent'' )
do %>
<%= text_field "request", "request"
%><br/>
<%= submit_tag ''Send Request'' %>
<% end %>
I was able to get this to work with link_to_remote with the following
code:
<br/><%= link_to_remote ''Update availability'', :url
=> {:action =>
"array"}, :with => "''data=''+test()",
:update => ''testing'' %>
where test() is the javascript function. This allows me to access the
result of the test function in params[:data]. It seems that I should
be able to do the same with form_remote_tag, but I have been
unsuccessful. Maybe a syntax mistake? Maybe not possible?

result() is the name of a javascript function that I have defined within a script in the head element. calling it in :with sets this result to data, which can then be accessed with params[:data] in the action create.

So this returns the correct value in params[:data]:
<%= link_to_remote ''Send Request'', :url =>
{:controller =>
"requests", :action => "create",
:date => @date, :weekday => @weekday, :id => @id}, :with =>
"''data=''+newFunction()",
:update => ''request_sent'' %>
but this returns nil:
<% form_remote_tag(:url => {:controller =>
''requests'', :action
=>''create''},
:with => "''data=''+newFunction()",
:update => ''request_sent'')
do %>
<%= text_field "request", "request"
%><br/>
<%= submit_tag ''Send Request'' %>
am I using :with within the form_remote_tag helper correctly? Are you
able to use it with form_remote_tag? Thanks.

can anyone help with this syntax? I figure anything that works for
link_to_remote has got to work for form_remote_tag. Does anyone know
if its possible to use the :with to pass parameters using
form_remote_tag? This is what I have so far, but the params[:time]
passed in :with is still nil and it works with link_to_remote.
<%= form_remote_tag :url => {:controller =>
''requests'', :action
=>''create'', :month => @month,
:day_number => @day_number, :day_name => @day_name, :id =>
@id},
:with => "''time=''+timeReturn()", :update
=> ''request_sent'' %>
<%= text_field "request", "request"
%><br/>
<%= submit_tag(''Send Request'') %>
<% end -%>
All the other params, i.e. month and day_number are passed, so i know
the general syntax is working, its just the :with that is giving me a
problem.
