Accessing an HTML element in a RJS template?

Digg Blink Reddit Delicious Technorati

question by Bejaan | Moderate

In a RJS template I need to access the innerHTML property of a element and pass it to a render call. Ideally, I want to be able to do something like this.
displayvalue = ['building1_display'].id page.replace landlord_row_id, :partial => 'display_landlord', :locals => {:display => displayvalue}

I think the first line is the problem, I don't think there is anyway to referance the properties of a element in a RJS template. Am I right or is there a way?

I'm not sure of a way to do this, although it is pretty straightforward to make javascript calls in RJS, so I wonder if you could restructure your code such that the logic uses a javascript function on the page, and uses RJS to call that function/pass parameters?
