Thanks that worked for me. I would love to change this so I'm using a
link_to object ruby object to call this function and pass the results
to my controller rather than calling it from the Javascript object?
Here is how I ended up doing it
window.location.href=action+"?"+array_params(checked);
function array_params(arry) {
//Prototype magic... concatenating array onto variable string...
var paramvar = "";
arry.each(function(s){
paramvar = paramvar.concat("plans[]=",s,"&");});
paramvar = paramvar.replace(/&$/,"");
return paramvar;
}
It returned - plans[]=53&plans[]=52&plans[]=42
Thanks again.
