Is there a way to do an ajax submit but only send the values in an embedded form inside a form?

I have to do an ajax submit with multiple companies and I get this being submitted for the post:

companyid 1 companyid 2 companyid 3

If I have multiple submits possible but I need to be able to get the appropriate company id that is submitted.

nested forms are not allowed by the html standard. When making an ajax request you can however submit an arbitrary element to submit.

I have been using fields_for for my inline ajax forms. How do submit text fields using a button_to_function? I have several inline forms using ajax calls to do CRUD for my contact info.

I have this ajax form that could be disaplyed multiple times on the page: If it is displayed multiple times when i do the ajax submit I get those same fields submitted. Is there a way to differentiate between them all?

<% fields_for :site do |f|%> <%= f.text_field “company”,‘’, :size => ‘6’ %> <%= f.text_field “Customer”,‘’, :size => ‘6’ %> <%= hidden_field_tag ‘companyid’,‘’, :value => @company.id %> <%= submit_to_remote ‘addsite’,‘Add Site’, :url => { :controller => ‘addsites’, :action => ‘addsitetomop’, :id=> @mop }%>

<% end %>

In firebug this is what it looks like:

site[Customer]

site[Customer]

site[company]

site[company]

.

If I do a “button_to_function remote_function” is there a way to send the text fields values across?
