Javascript+partial form problem

Rails
1

Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to pass a value to a javascript function from a
partial form. I have done client side validation from rhtml pages having
forms in the following manner :

<%= f.text_field :first_name, :onChange => ("return checkName(this.form.first_name.value');") %>

But since in a partial form there is not form tag, how can i pass the
value to a javascript function?

-Thanks
Saurav

Surely if you’ve got f (which I assume is a form builder) then this
partial will always be rendered inside a form? It doesn’t matter if
the form is inside the partial or not, the browser will never know.
However, in your onChange ‘this’ should be the text field so
this.value should work.
