Pass an Array of Arrays from view to controller

Hi,

is there a way to pass a Array of Arrays in params? I tryed like this:

<% a1 = Array.new %> <% a2 = Array.new %>

[...]

<% a1 << a2%>

[...]

<%= link_to_remote 'next',:url => {:controller => 'myController', :action => 'myAction', :params=>{:myArray => a1 }} %>

But i can't access the nested Array. A Array of Integer or Strings is accessible. Has someone an advice?

regards

You aren't sending a key with the value to the params hash when you nest arrays as in your example. If you send a hash holding both parts of your array you may have better luck.

For example: myhash = {:a1 => [1,2,3], :a2 => [4,5,6]} ... params => { :myarray => myhash } ...
