Rails spinoffs - Feb 2007 - how to create an ajax state-change checkbox with a rails command

Is there a simple set of rails commands that can create a checkbox
that sends an ajax submit on each state change of the checkbox?  I do
not yet know enough about Javascript to write this out without rails''
help.

I don''t know anything about Rails, but I do have a Javascript class 
that''ll do what you want. Maybe someone else here can make a RJS 
template for it for you? I don''t know how that stuff works... Anyway, 
you can get it here:

http://colin.mollenhour.com/include/prototype/checkbox.js

new Ajax.Checkbox(''elementid'', ''page.php'',
{params:''action=checkbox''});

It works very similar to Ajax.InPlaceEditor except it has a checkbox. 
Sorry, no live demo.

I believe observe_field is what you need (in addition to creating the
checkbox just before in your view).
