Hello, I would like to have a link_to automatically populate a field in the form that it is linking to.
For example (excuse my silly words, im trying to make a point) <%= link_to "Add a COOL Post", new_post_path, :howcoolisit => 'COOL' %> <%= link_to "Add a NOTCOOL Post", new_post_path, :howcoolisit => 'NOTCOOL' %> Then, I would have a field in that form: <%= f.hidden_field :howcoolisit %> And I would want it to be populated automatically (either NOTCOOL, or COOL, depending on the link_to that the user has chosen.) However, it is just being blank.. nothing is getting populated. I must be missing something, or my approach is wrong. Does anyone know how to accomplish such a task?
