How to submit the value of the selected link when using Ajax Form?

Question

The name of the selected link is the value that needs to be submitted to the controller from an Ajax form.

Answer 1

I'd do it like so using mootools where the links you want to capture clicks on have the class 'selectedLinks':

var links = $$('a.selectedLinks');
for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++){
    links.addEvent('click', function(){
       var myRequest = new Request({method: 'get', url: 'yourRequestHandler.php'});
       myRequest.send('name=' + this.getProperty('name'));
       return false;
    });
}

Answer 2

used Ajax.ActionLinks
