Hello,

```
 I'm having trouble with this, I have a form with form_remote_tag,

```

every thing works ok, the remote function is called, I can render some  
partial, etc, but I can’t hide the div that contains the form, Do I  
need RJS or can where can call some DOM instrucctions since the remote  
function?

Thank you.

Hi Mike,

I had this implementation problem many months ago and I ended up  
using an RJS file to dismiss the div/dialog. I found that trying to  
use the on complete callback didn’t work for me. I wrote up a blog  
entry about my experience of creating a modal dialog with a form  
submission here:

modal.html

Hope that helps
