title: One select_tag and multiple button_to submit buttons
body: <p>I have one select_tag and multiple button_to buttons on the same page. I'm looking to use the parameters from the select_tag for several of the buttons, is there a non-form way to do this? </p>
  
  <p>The reason I don't want to use a form is two fold:
  1. the number of buttons is dynamic
  2. the positioning of the buttons do not follow the form structure (object at the top and submit at the bottom)</p>
  
  <p>-here is one of the create methods that are linked to one of the buttons</p>
  
  <pre><code>def create
    params[:options].each do |x|
      @connector = Connector.find_or_create_by_options_id_and_follow_id(x.id, current_user.follow(@product).id)
      @connector.save
    end
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked and this params[:options] is always nil no matter what is selected by me when I test</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= select_tag :options, options_for_select(@current_user_options.map {|p| [p.name, p.id] }), {:multiple =&gt; true} %&gt;
  </code></pre>
