I have a rails app, where I have 2 models, user and notice. A user has a single notice. I’m using jQuery to implement the ‘edit’ and ‘update’ methods for notice.

In order to send the correct ‘id’ of the notice to my notice controller i’ve created a div tag in the view with the id of the notice, so that i can get the id of the notice using jQuery.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Punit
