HI THERE, In my .rhtml file I have some links.I need to invoke a ruby method(controller's method/Helper method) and send link text as a parameter on clicking the link. Is it Possible..!

Thanks In Advance

sure:

link_to("my_text", { :action => "your_action", :some_param => "my_text" })

this would give you "my_text" as params[:some_param] in your action. You can add any number of parameters that way with whatever content you want.

Yes it is possible.

link_to_function(name, *args, &block)

Returns a link that will trigger a JavaScript function using the onclick handler and return false after the fact.

The function argument can be omitted in favor of an update_page block, which evaluates to a string when the template is rendered (instead of making an Ajax request first).

(Refer http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptHelper.html#M001061 )

Thanks -Pavan

Thank You.
