I have an edit_func_spec_ui.rhtml file in the controller popup_controller:

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="itiltable2"> <tr> <th colspan="4" class="alternative"> <label for="ci_content_functional_spec" >Edit Functional Specification</label> </th> </tr> <tr>     <td width="25%" colspan="4"><%= text_area "ci_content", "functional_spec", "cols" => 120, "rows" => 5 %></td> </tr> </table> <table>   <tr>   <td>    <%= link_to ( "Save", {:controller => :ci, :action => :edit_ci_functional_spec, :ci => @ci, :method => 'post'}, {'class' => 'itilbuttonlink1'})%>   </td>   <td>   <%= link_to ( "Cancel", {:controller => :ci, :action => :edit, :ci => @ci}, {'class' => 'itilbuttonlink1'})%>   </td>

  </tr> </table>

The link "Save" calls an action edit_ci_functional_spec in another controller ci_controller: def edit_ci_functional_spec @ci = Ci.find(params[:ci]) @ci.content.functional_spec= params[:ci_content][:functional_spec] @ci.content.save redirect_to :action => 'edit', :ci => @ci end

But i'm not getting the value of params[:ci_content][:functional_spec] in the above action. Anyone please help me to solve this.

Thanks in advance Suneeta

   <td width="25%" colspan="4"><%= text_area "ci_content", "functional_spec", "cols" => 120, "rows" => 5 %></td> </tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td>   <%= link_to ( "Save", {:controller => :ci, :action => :edit_ci_functional_spec, :ci => @ci, :method => 'post'}, {'class' => 'itilbuttonlink1'})%>

The link "Save" calls an action edit_ci_functional_spec in another controller ci_controller: def edit_ci_functional_spec @ci = Ci.find(params[:ci]) @ci.content.functional_spec= params[:ci_content][:functional_spec] @ci.content.save redirect_to :action => 'edit', :ci => @ci end

But i'm not getting the value of params[:ci_content][:functional_spec] in the above action. Anyone please help me to solve this.

Why would it? Save is just a link and fuctional_spec is a textfield elsewhere on the page. Sounds like you want a form instead.

Where in the above link_to method do you see yourself setting the params[:ci_content][:functional_spec]..

You are setting the params[:ci] (which you grab later but not the former)

You cannot post form variables without using form. It'll be better to use form and submit button instead of links.

Buttons are not customizable enough for me. I used something like that

link_to "Submit", 'javascript:document.forms[0].submit(); ', :class=>"button"
