[Rails] Re: Call a controller method from Javascript

Hey Guys, let me explain you all my scenario where I am stuck.

I got a table filled with cells. When I right click on any cell, I got
to display a context menu and then call a controller method on left
clicking the context menu. I got to send in a parameter to my controller
code and return what controller sends back. I am using jquery right
click for my context menu. I have the clicked cell value. I just need to
call a ruby controller method.


This is my home.html.erb code:


$(document).ready(function() {
var currentCellText;/*this variable will have the clicked cell value*/
$("tbody td").mousedown(function(e) {
currentCellText = $(this).text();

});

$.contextMenu({

selector: '.context-menu-one',
callback: function(key, options) {
var m = "clicked: " + currentCellText;
window.console && console.log(m)||
test_call(currentCellText);
},
items: {
"Menu 1": {name: "Menu 1"},
"Menu 2": {name: "Menu 2"},
}
});
});


function test_call(val)
{
alert(val);
new Ajax.Request('/sessions/test_call_cont', {
method: 'post',
parameters: {
menu_id: val
}
});
}



And my controller code is


def test_call_cont
puts "Printing from Controller"
end
