Hi!

I have a small form that I want to submit through AJAX when a dropdown is
changed. I have set the form to be :remote => true.

But if I do something like:

$('.element').change ->
this.form.submit()


The form is not submitted through AJAX. Can I trigger Rails ajax submit
function somehow instead of the .submit()?

Regards
Linus

    I think what you're doing is a bit odd. Submits should really come
    from a user directly clicking on a GO button. Changing a dropdown
    should be more passive -- it's very easy to mis-click in those things,
    leaving the user in an odd spot. If you want to get a set of data etc.
    when the user changes the dropdown I'd do a GET via Jquery in the
    dropdown's selection change event.

    Just my opinion tho.

    Yes, of course. This was only in an Admin interface where I will need to
    quickly select a dropdown only for each post. It is very tedious to select
    and then click a button when you might need to do it like a couple of
    thousand times :)

    I use Active Admin which comes with an old jQuery / rails javascript. I
    updated it and then I could do this:

    $('#myform select.something').change ->
    form = $(this.form)
    form.trigger 'submit.rails'
    ....

    Works great! :)
