How would make this a helper? I would like to send in some parameters as a hidden field dynamically.

\<% form\_for :file, :url =\> file\_upload\_path(:format =\> 'js'), :html =\> { :multipart =\> true, :target =\> 'upload\_file', :id =\> 'fileupload' } do %\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\<b\>File:\</b\>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= file\_field\_tag :upload %\>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= hidden\_field\_tag 'w\_id', @work.id %\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= submit\_tag 'Upload File' %\>&nbsp; \<% end %\>
