Rails - Oct 2006 - observe_field, GET method and RESTful controllers

Hi all.

I am trying to work with restful rails and have come across a quandry 
with observe_field.

I basically want the observe field to call a show action on a restful 
controller. However I am unable to do so because I cannot get the damn 
thing to use the get request properly. If I use the following:

<%= observe_field("project_selector", :update =>
"project_selector_div",
:url => project_path, :with =>
"''id=''+escape(value)") %>

then the POST method is used and the controller thinks I am trying to 
create a new record.

If I do the following:

<%= observe_field("project_selector", :update =>
"project_selector_div",
:url => project_path, :method => :get, :with =>
"''id=''+escape(value)")
%>

Then the index action is called and Mongrel shows the following 
wierdness in the log file

Processing ProjectsController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-10-18 
23:29:13) [GET]
  Session ID: cd6a0a059f38a78c07376123512967e1
  Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"id"=>"3",
"controller"=>"projects",
"_"=>nil}
  [4;36;1mProject Load (0.000000)   [0;1mSELECT * FROM projects 


As you can see adding the :method => get appears to work but then the 
:actoion is changed to index and there is a "_" +> nil parameter?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get observe_field to call the 
show action using the GET method?

Many thanks

RJ

Have been messing around with this with no luck. With the introduction 
of RESTful rails I am thinking that maybe a lot of the javascript stuff 
needs to be updated to include the option to set the request methods 
since the method counts in REST.
