Rails - Apr 2006 - Calling Javascript function using observe_field

I''m trying to call a simple javascript function from within an 
observe_field.  It is possible to replace the :url with :function to 
call a function.  But since there are no examples, and I''ve tried a 
bunch of iterations, can someone show me sample syntax?

I''d like to do something like:

<%= observe_field :FormOptions1,
                  :frequency => 0.25,
                  :function => "javascript:tcsValidateInput001()"
%>

Has anyone done this sort of thing?

Why not just use the onchange event of the field?
