Add content of text-field to link_to as parameter

How you can see i have an link_to with an empty parameter :street :

<%= link_to "#{g.name}", icd_test_path(g, :street => "...."), remote: true %>

I would like to have the content of this a-tag with the id => "form" as param :street

<a id="form">Boulevard</a>

How can i make this? Is there any solution with jquery?

I suspect my link_to should look something like this:

:street => $(#form).html()

You can do this in rails itself, try this: 

<%= link_to g.name, icd_test_path(g, :street => g.name), remote: true %>

If your requirement is different the please comment, I will try to get you the solution.

Through Jquery you can try this code:

Your link can be like:

<%= link_to g.name, icd_test_path(g), remote: true %>

Then add following javascript code:

$(function() {
  var href = $('#form').attr('href');
  var queryString = '?street=' +  encodeURIComponent($('#form').text());
  $('#form').attr('href', href + queryString );
});
