Problem submiting value, form_for, link-to-remote, javascrip

Rails
1

This is my form. It creates a comment in the database but won’t pass the
‘body’ value. I think the problem is passing the variable to javascript.
Can anyone help?

<% form_for :comment, :url=>story_comments_path(@story), :name =>
‘form’ do |form| %>

Comment:
<%= form.text_field :body %>
<%= link_to_remote('comment',{ :url => {:controller => 'comments' , :action => 'create', :story_id => @story.id, :method => 'get', :with => 'serialize_fields()' }}) %> <% end %>

This is the javascript.

I tried this too

:with=>"‘body’ + $F(‘body’)"

That doesn’t work either. How can I pass this parameter?

Your serialize_form method looks borked. You could use the
remote_form_for method alternatively, prototype already provides a
serialise method for forms - $(‘id_of_the_form’).serialize() will
serialise all then inputs in the form
