I’ve put together what should be a dirt simple submit\_to\_remote and  
can’t seem to get it working. This is gem Rails 1.2.3. Here’s the code:

\<% form\_tag do %\>

 \<%= submit\_to\_remote('ok', 'ok', :action =\> 'foo') %\> \<% end %\>

def foo  
if request.post?  
render(:update) do |page|  
page.replace\_html :final\_link, ‘bar’  
end  
end  
end

What happens is that when I click on ‘ok’, Firebug tells me:

$(form) has no properties  
[Break on this error] return $A($(form).getElementsByTagName  
(’\*’)).inject([],

Prototype is included. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
