Sorry if I didn't explain enough. I have a series of messages called "beats" (db.beats) which are displayed on the page in tabulated <div> elements. Each beat has fields one of which is user_id. Within each div is a link that will open the modal which contains the form with the slider widget. I want the form to be associated with the correct "beat" so I wish to pass value of b.user_id to the form in the modal. The form will then submit and update a second table.
