Actually, that would have an issue if your name had a single quote in
it. You might have to use a hidden form value (hopefully you have a

you have to do some tricks. Something like ...
<t:form t:id="inputs">
<t:hidden t:id="name" value="name"/>
</t:form>
Then using Prototype in your JavaScript:
$('inputs')['name'].value
