[Proto-Scripty] Re: how to pass question marks in fields using ajax updater
Here's what worked.
I did this:
var url = 'site.lasso?fuseaction=ajax.famMbr_nestedForm';
var target = 'ajax_famMbr_div';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Updater(target, url, {method:'get',
parameters: {a: $F('member_nm'), b: $F('member_address'), c: $F
('member_ph'), d: $F('member_email'), e: $F('date_member_birth'), f: $F
('member_sex'), g: $F('member_ethnicity'), btn: $F
('AddBtn_famMbr')} });
Instead of doing this:
var url = 'site.lasso?fuseaction=ajax.famMbr_nestedForm';
var pars = 'a='+escape($F('member_nm')) + 'b='+escape($F
('member_address')) + 'c='+escape($F('member_ph')) + 'd='+escape($F
('member_email')) + 'e='+escape($F('date_member_birth')) +
'f='+escape($F('member_sex')) + 'g='+escape($F('member_ethnicity'))
+ 'btn=' + document.getElementById('AddBtn_famMbr').value;
var target = 'ajax_famMbr_div';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Updater(target, url, {method:'get',
parameters:pars});

Hi,
You're doing a lot more work there than you need to (and apparently
introducing some problem with a question mark; I'm not immediately
seeing why, but I think your message was truncated).
Check out Form#serialize and Form.Element#serialize. There's no
problem submitting fields with question marks.

How do I let users enter question marks in the fields on my nested

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are forming your parameters as you would a
querystring
ex: a=appleb=banana
parameters for an Ajax.Updater or Request are usually set up like
this:
parameters: { a: 'apple', b: 'banana' }
if you are still having trouble passing in a '?' you could also try
changing the method to 'post'
