Hello i have a lot of time trying to figure this out. I am having problem sending array params with form\_tag :remote=\>true

form.erb &nbsp;&nbsp;\<%#= form\_tag reporte\_client\_reports\_path do%\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= form\_tag reporte\_client\_reports\_path,:remote=\>true do%\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<p\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= label\_tag :cuts %\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= select\_tag "cuts", options\_from\_collection\_for\_select(@cuts, "real\_cut", "cut"), :multiple=\>true, :id =\> "cuts"%\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\</p\>

\<p\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= submit\_tag 'Send' %\> \</p\> \<%end%\>

Controller def report &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@cuts = params[:cuts]

respond\_to do |format| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;format.html {render :layout =\> false if request.xhr?} &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;format.js #{render :layout =\> false} &nbsp;&nbsp;end end

Results

debug results: - 2011-02-15,2011-02-28,2011-03-15,2011-03-31

I resolved in functional way, but there might be something very weird with this in my controller:

if request.xhr? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@super = params[:supermercados].to\_s.split(",") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@cortess = params[:cortes].to\_s.split(",") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@prods = params[:productos].to\_s.split(",") end
