FF params

View: <form id="search_form"> <%= text_field_tag :search_id, "", :id=>"search_id" %>

<%= link_to_remote "Search", :url=>{:controller=>"search", :action => "query"}, :with => "'search_id=' + $('search_id').serialize() -%> </form>

Controller: render :update do |page|         page.redirect_to :action => "show",           :q1=>params[:search_id],           :q2=>params[:search_title],           :q3=>params[:search_author],           :q4=>params[:search_tags],           :q5=>params[:search_date_from],           :q6=>params[:search_date_to]     end

(IE7) works fine, but in (FF3.0)...the params are nil...params[:search_id] for instance

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

That's because that will generate a query string that looks like
search_id=search_id=something because serialize returns key=value strings. just :with => "$('search_id').serialize() will do
