Rails - Apr 2006 - RJS and remote forms

I''ve run into what I think is a browser bug related to using 
remote_forms pushed in an RJS update.

In my controller, I have an action that creates a new model and returns 
a form for one of its children:

  def create_party
    party = Party.create
    render :update do |page|
      page.insert_html :top, ''party-list'', :partial =>
''party_header'',
:locals => { :party => party }
      page.insert_html :after, "party-#{party.id}", :partial => 
''guest_form'', :locals => { :guest => party.guests.build
}
    end
  end

_guest_form.rhtml is:
  <tr>
  <% remote_form_for :guest, guest, :url => { :action =>
''create_guest''
} do |f| %>
    <%= f.hidden_field :party_id %>
    <td><%= f.text_field :first_name %></td>
    <td><%= f.text_field :last_name %> <%= submit_tag
%></td>
    <% end %>
  </tr>

Unfortunately, when the form is submitted, params[] contains only the 
party_id, and not the other values I?ve typed in (not even a blank value 
for the key). It?s either a browser problem, due to issues with 
programmatically-generated content, or something strange in 
Form.serialize.

Has anyone else run into this issue? I don?t think I?m doing anything 
particularly boneheaded here?

Use  page.insert_html :top, ''party-list'', :partial =>
''party_header'',
:object => party instead
And for guest
page.insert_html :after, "party-#{party.id}", :partial => 
''guest_form'',
:object => party.guests.build

AFAIK, :locals has replaced the old :object spec. In any case, the 
change above breaks the party_id field.

The issue is not that the rendered form is not displaying properly?it?s 
that submitting that form omits field values.
