Rails - May 2006 - form :onblur => ''this.form.submit()'' doesn''t do AJAX

Hi,

I''m looking to create a form that gets submitted using AJAX after an 
element loses focus.

<% remote_form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action =>
"save" },
:update => ''form'' do |f| %>

<label for="person_fname"><span
class="req">*</span>Name</label>
<div class="form_el">
<%= f.text_field :naam, :size=>50, :onblur =>
''this.form.submit()''  %>
</div>

<% end %>

This doesn''t work though, it submits the form using a plain old POST. 
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Jeroen

This seems to work:

<%= f.text_field :name, :size=>50,
:onblur => remote_function(:update => "form",
:with => ''Form.serialize(this.form)'',
:url => { :action => :presubmit })  %>

Cheers,
