dynamic link_to_remote in rails with jquery
- by Claus Lensbøl
Hi
I'm trying to pass a string with a link_to_remote call as the :id, and the string should be collected from an input field with and id of "movie_title".
<div id="search_list">Nothing here yet</div>
<br />
<% semantic_form_for @movie do |f| %>
<% f.inputs do -%>
<%= f.input :title, :class => "movie_title" %> <%= link_to_remote( 'Search...', { :url => { :action => :imdb_search, :id => "'+$('\#movie_title').value+'" } }, { :title => "Search for this movie", :class => "imdb_search" } ) -%>
[...removed text that does not matter...]
<% end -%>
<%= f.buttons %>
<% end %>
I keep getting an javascript error, and if I remove the # from the jquery in the link, it returns "Undefined".
The link I get is:
<a class="imdb_search" href="#" onclick="jQuery.ajax({data:'authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('yHPHYTZsPTQLi9JYSauUYcoie/pqPPk2uHBTN0PzNsQ='), dataType:'script', type:'post', url:'/movies/imdb_search/'+$('%23movie_title').value+''}); return false;" title="Search for this movie">Search...</a>
So I want the link updated with the contents of movie_title.
How do I do that?
