This is probably a really dumb question with a simple answer but…

I am working on a project where I need to use AJAX to send/receive information. I am using Ruby on Rails (which I am pretty new to), but rather than using the helper methods or the built in functionality in the ‘defaults’ Javascript file, I need to do this manually in my own Javascript.

I believe that ultimately I will want to send a request with a JSON object, then have the controller return another JSON object containing the requested information.

The problem is that I cannot seem to find the syntax for sending something to a specific controller method, with parameters, directly from Javascript – everything I Google ends up being tutorials for using the Rails AJAX helper methods.

    if using jQuery is an option for you, jQuery.ajax will solve your problem.

    [and for those who likes to say jQuery is not solution for everything, i know that. i’m just giving him an option].
