I use porototype to update page by form:

\<%= observe\_form(:search\_form,  
:frequency =\> 1,  
:update =\> :search\_hits,  
:loading =\> “Element.show(‘spinner’)”,  
:complete =\> “Element.hide(‘spinner’)”,  
:url =\> { :action =\> :search }) %\>

But now I need to replase it by iQuery, can somebody help me? What I  
need to do?

I don’t know either library well at all, but I imagine that you can  
find what you want here [[http://docs.jquery.com/Main\_Page](http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page) ] if you’re  
know what you’re doing with Prototype.

Look for “jquery ajaxform” in Google.

Or look on errtheblog  
([http://errtheblog.com/posts/73-the-jskinny-on-jquery](http://errtheblog.com/posts/73-the-jskinny-on-jquery)  
).
