Submit AJAX form with select onchange

Rails
1

Hey all,

I’m trying to submit the following ajax form using the onchange on a
rails select.

<% form_remote_tag(:url => { :action => :add_facilitator }, :html =>
{:id => ‘add_facilitator’}) do %>
<%= select :facilitator, :id, @facilitators.map{|u|
[u.surname,u.id]}, {:include_blank => ‘’, :onchange =>
“‘add_facilitator’.onsubmit()”}%>
<% end %>

If I add a submit tag it works perfectly but i’d rather use onchange
instead.

any help is greatly appreciated.

$(‘add_facilitator’).submit()

Hi Fred,

Thanks for the reply, however, even with your code, the following is
the html produced by the helper. There is no onchange in the select
definition.

Any ideas?

$(‘add_facilitator’).submit()

oh and you need to make the onchange be in the second options hash, ie
{:include_blank => true}, {:onchange => …}}
