Question

I have a form, html elements get added to it via ajax calls, and I want to be able to pass the values of the added html elements to the form submit. Details:

I have a simple form_for:

<%= form_tag(:controller => "operations", :action => "new") do %>
<%= select_tag "operation", options_for_select(%w{a s m d} )%>

depending on a user’s action on the select tag, I do

$.get(url, params,function(response){
}, 'script')});

The ajax call returns an html radio_button_tag i.e. the url called has something like:

<div class="modifer">
<%= radio_button_tag elid, 'no' %>
</div>

The user can now select the radio button, and I want to pass this value as part of the form submit. I really don’t understand how to pass the value of the radio_button_tag (elid) as part of the form submit.

Would appreciate some clarification on this

Answer 1

Are you inserting the .modifier div into the form? If so, it will be submitted with the form.
