passing parameter thru fields_for text_field

Hello all,

I have a helper function called "add_link" which will insert html to a partial.

- ProjectsHelper - def add_link(name, irb=nil)     link_to_function name do |page|       page.insert_html :top, :irbs, :partial => 'projects/irb', :object => Irb.new, :locals => { :irb_id => irb }     end end

- _irb.html.erb - <!-- project/_irb.html.erb --> <div class="irb"> <!-- Note: look into creating a helper method for error messages -->   <% new_or_existing = irb.new_record? ? 'new' : 'existing' %>   <% prefix = "project[#{new_or_existing}_irb_attributes]" %>   <% error_messages_for :irb %>

  <!-- Display IRBs -->   <% fields_for prefix, irb do |irb_form| -%>   <p>     <%= irb_form.text_field "IRB" %> <!-- text field value option -->

    <%= link_to_function "remove", "jQuery(this).fadeOut(500, function() { $(this).up('.irb').remove(); } );" %>   </p>   <% end -%> </div>

How can I pass an id to the text field like the "<%= text_field_tag "IRB", irb_id %>"

I would like to display the IRB value in the text field when inserted.

Thanks for any help with this.
