hash parameters in link_to_remote getting munged

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello,

I'm having a problem implementing a link_to_remote that passes a customer's name as a name=>value hash where the name is 'repaired' and the value is a customer's name.

It's getting munged though and turns out to be:

"repaired"=>"customer_nameABC-CustomerNameInc"

Probably something I'm doing. If someone has time to take a look, here's the link_to_remote:

<%= link_to_remote "Previous Page", :url => {:controller => @controller_name, :action => 'step02', :repaired=>{'customer_name' => @customer.name} } %>

The parameters that turn up as submitted to my step02 action are

Parameters: {"action"=>"step02", "repaired"=>"customer_nameABC-CustomerNameInc", "controller"=>"packing"}

Grats for your help, Dave {It's snowing to beat the band here in Vancouver. Love it!)

Look at the Javascript that's generated from your link_to_remote. You're trying to pass a Ruby Hash object as in a query string. I don't think Ruby is figuring out that it's receiving anything different from a plain old string. You may have to come up with a different solution.

Yes you're right. It's a plain old query string. I've worked around it as you suggested. Thanks! -Dave
