Calling an ajax dropdown with a 'submit_to_remote'

Rails

Hi. What would i call as my action to trigger the auto_complete_ that
would call the action to do the ajax dropdown?

or i would take a hack that would insert a space inside the text field
to trigger the ajax action…

ideas?

This topic is well suited for anyone using the auto_complete_field
function to do ajax dropdowns but wants a submit button in there just in
case the user’s mouse behavior does something that’s not expected.

You’d do this in your layout:

<%= text_field :model, :attribute, :size => 21 %>

<%= submit_to_remote nil,‘Go’, :url => {:action =>
‘auto_complete_model_attribute’},
:update => ‘manual_search_results’ %>

then you’ll have your updated div:

and it works. easy.
