it's hardly a silly question. see if this works:

extraParams:{
STATE:function() { return $("#STATE").val(); },
CITY: function() { return $("#CITY").val(); }
}

something like that works in my app.

it would be sweet if you could write something like:

extraParams: function() { ... }

and have your function return an object with lots of extra params. i looked
at the plugin and it didn't seem easy enough for me to be willing to
attempt.
