Rails - Feb 2006 - What''s the javascript to submit an AJAX Form?

HI Everyone,

How do I form the href on an anchor so I can create a link-style submit for
an ajax form?

In this snippet, the INPUT generated by #submit_tag works OK, but the anchor
results in the AJAX replacing the whole page?

Can I make the anchor/href submit the AJAX form as well?

Thank you!


I have this (list.rhtml):

    <%= form_remote_tag  :url => {:action=>:ajax_list_option_table},
                        :html =>
{:name=>''option_list_form''},
                        :update => ''option_table'',
                        :complete =>
"Toggle.display(''auto_link_link'')"; %>

  <h1>Options</h1>
  <p></p>
  <table border="0">
  <tr>
  <td/>
  <td align="right" cols="2">
  <%= submit_tag "GO" %>
  <a class="button"
href="javascript:document.option_list_form.submit();"
name="go" >GO</a>&nbsp;
  </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

    <%= end_form_tag -%>

<table>
<tbody id="option_list_table">
</tbody>
</table>

You are supposed to be able to add a :submit option, which will get the
value of One (and only one as far as I know... I just asked about that
myself) element (by id) in the form.

Is there any other way?
