Hello,
I''m trying to submit a link using:
<%= link_to_remote " add selected",
:html =>{:id => ''multiple_select_form''},
:url => { :controller => "sms",
:action => "add_selected_to_recipients_list",
:recipients_session_id => @recipientSessionID},
:with => "''checked_client_array=''+
document.getElementsByName(''checked_client_array'') "
%>
where checked_client_array is a name of a list of checkboxes such as is:
<input type="checkbox" id="checked_client_array"
name="checked_client_array" value="<%= the_client.id
%>">
what I get inside Rails console:
{"checked_client_array"=>"[object HTMLCollection]",
"recipients_session_id"=>"recipients_list"}
if I put the boxes inside regular form it works fine by I want to be
submitted from another form so that''s why I''m using the :with
property
for the remote link.
Any ideas what I''m doing wrong and how I can submit it regularly.
Thanks,
TAm

You need to construct an appropriate query string fragment from that collection. Prototype has various helpers for dealing with this (eg serialize).
