Hi, I have a text field as: <%= text_field :contact ,:name,:class=>''roundRect'',:id=>''name'' %> Then on click of a link I want to pass the value in this text field to a controller method. I do not want to use a form and form submit. I have the link as: <a href ="/main/search" >GO</a> and to this ''search'' method I want to pass the text field value.... How do I do this??? Thank you... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hello, you may add javascript to onclick event of your link.
<a href ="/main/search" onclick="return
addParam(this);">GO</a>
and in js file :
function addParam(link){
var name = $(''name'');
if(name && !name.value.blank()){
link.href += ''''?query=" + escpe(name.value);
return true;
} else {
alert(''Input string for search'');
return false;
}
}
then in your controller use params[:query]

First, you need to wrap the field(s) you want to pass to the controller in a <div> with an id. <div id=''field_to_submit''> <%= text_field :contact ,:name,:class=>''roundRect'',:id=>''name'' %> </div> Then in your link_to_remote ... <%= link_to_remote ''Click me'', :url => (:controller => ''main'', :action => ''search}, :submit => ''field_to_submit'', :method => :post %> When the link is clicked, the value you''re looking for will be passed to the controller via a POST and can be accessed using params[:contact][:name] HTH, Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I can''t really say what went wrong with the previous code you tried,
but here is how i would do it:
<%= text_field :contact
,:name,:class=>''roundRect'',:id=>''name''
%>
<%=link_to_remote(''Go'',
:url =>{:controller => ''main'', :action=>
''search''},
:with => "''contact[name]='' +
$(''contact_name'').value")%>
@bill walton: Can you use the :submit parameter of link_to_remote even
without wrapping the inputs in form tag? The documentation seems to
suggest so, but i''ve never tried ....
