Hi,

I have multiple forms on a page that can be sent individually via  
submit\_to\_remote. I’d also like to offer the option of sending the  
data from my several forms at once. Based on google searches related  
to this, it seems the best approach will be to javascript something  
that sends each the data form each form one after the other –  
multiple ajax calls.

But isn’t there a technique for merging the data from the individual  
forms and ajax submitting it all at once?

thanks,

Lille

Never tried this particular scenerio, but the link\_to\_remote method  
takes a :submit argument that will serialize and post all the inputs  
inside the div specified as its argument. You might give that a try.
