How to make a drop-down automatically submit an AJAX form
Hi,
I know that to make a dropdown box automatically submit when you change
the value, you do this:
<select ..... onchange="this.form.submit();">
BUT i''ve got an ajax form, and if i do the above trick, it simply
reloads the ajax partial into the whole screen, rather than into the div
where it is meant to go.
I''ve already got it all working so that if you click on the submit
button, all is fine, but i''d like to know how to make it automatic.
My RHTML code looks a bit like this:
--
<%= form_remote_tag :update => "div_id_dataentry_bottom_ajax",
:url => {
:action => "dataentry_bottom_edit" } %>
<select id="department_id" name="department_id"
onchange="this.form.submit();">
<%= options_from_collection_for_select @departments, "id",
"department_name" %>
</select>
<%= submit_tag "Open for Data Entry" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
<div id="div_id_dataentry_bottom_ajax">
</div>

Cheers, thanks all

Use onchange="this.form.onsubmit();" rather than submit straight.
