Hi,

I'm new to ajax and I've a little problem to sending parameters in order to be executed on the controller.

Suppose that "function updatextable(e)" which is javascript function is called somewhere in the application (onDrop of draggable element). How can I send "e.value" to the controller in order to do some active record operations?

Many thanks

I suppose the same way you send any data in a HTTP request, whether that be by AJAX or not makes no difference.

GET: http://example.com/resource?e=value

POST: http://example.com/resource -- Form data -- e=value
