Rails - Jul 2006 - my "observer" is blind

Any body have an idea why my first attempt to use "observe_field"
isn''t
working?

<%= start_form_tag(:name => ''my_form'', :controller =>
''boo'' , :action =>
''ya'')  %>
<%= radio_button_tag(''foo'', ''true'',
checked = true) %>
<%= radio_button_tag(''foo'', ''false'',
checked = false) %>
<%= submit_tag ''do it now'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
<%= observe_field("foo", :url => {:action =>
"the_radio_thing"}) %>


I put a logger message in "the_radio_thing", and...nothing.  Also not 
hitting the .rjs file of the same name.  There are no error messages in 
the log either when rendering the page or when poking the radio buttons.

Any ideas?

thanks,
jp

First thing I''d do is try moving the call inside the form.  Second
thing
would be to look at what''s / whether or not anything''s being
posted via the
observe_field when the radio button changes.  I don''t recall whether
radio
buttons trigger observe_field onchange or on some other event and you might 
want to check the docs on that.
