Hi all,

It must be simple stuff. I am trying to put an input text area

- that submits when a user presses Enter without a submit button and
- resets itself for a new input after Enter.

\<% form\_remote\_tag (:url =\> {:action =\> ‘my\_action’}, :update =\>  
“area”) do %\>  
\<%= text\_area\_tag ‘my\_input’, " ", :rows =\>2, :columns =\> 12,  
:onclick =\> “$(my\_input).reset()” %\>  
\<% end %\>

What am I doing wrong?  
Thanks.

Sy
