This is request made from the client: new Ajax.Updater("sip_tab_content", "/rails/test_modules/show/"+$F"boardid"), {method :''get'', onFailure:displaySIPTabFailure, onComplete:displaySIPTabFailure }); This is controller from the ROR controller acting as server: class TestModulesController < ApplicationController def index @test_modules = TestModule.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @test_modules } end end def show @test_module = TestModule.find(params[:id]) #TestModule is a module class accessing database respond_to do |format| format.html # show.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @test_module } end end end # index.html.erb: The parameter value "($F"boardid")" passed by Ajax.Updater is taken by "id". I''m a newbie and didn''t know how the "($F"boardid")" is passed into "id". If I want to add one para after "($F"boardid")" , how to pick it from controller? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
