Rails - Nov 2006 - how to get observe_field to use GET method?

Hi All.

I am trying to set-up observe_field so that it uses the GET method (To 
work with a RESTful controller).

<%= link_to_remote("Test", :update => "main", :url
=> { :controller =>
"projects", :action => "show", :id => "3"},
:method => "get" ) %>

<%= observe_field("project_selector", :update =>
"main", :url => {
:controller => "projects", :action => "show"}, :with
=>
"''id=''+escape(value)") %>

I have successfully set-up a link_to_remote so that it works (although I 
had to replace the project_path URL with the :controller and :action) as 
you can see above however I cannot for the life of me get the 
observe_field to work. (Putting :method => ''get'' into the
:url hash
doesn''t work)

Looking at the API there is no html_options specified in the observe 
field method so I am wondering if it is possible and I am missing 
something or do I need to submit a ticket on edge rails to get all the 
prototype helpers updated to allow a :method for RESTful compatibility.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

RJ

I think that :method => ''get'' is what you want - But it
doesn''t need to
go in the :url hash. It should be just like link_to_remote, i.e. 
observe_field("project_selector", :method =>
''get'', etc...)
The ajax prototype helpers end up calling options_for_ajax which is 
clearly looking out for the presence of a method parameter.

Hoi Fred.

I was afraid that would be the answer :) When I do this (and have done 
this in the past) the request seems to get screwed up as you can see 
from the log below:

Processing ProjectsController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-11-05 
08:16:06) [GET]
  Session ID: 2a9b3a8394f406523f33929918b93099
  Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"id"=>"3",
"controller"=>"projects",
"_"=>nil}

The request is correctly sent as a GET but the action gets changed to 
"index" and a "_"=>nil parameter is created for some
reason.

Before I started raising tickets I wanted to be sure it is a problem 
with edge rather than me just not understanding the helpers. Does anyone 
know what is causing this?

Many thanks

RJ

I''m stuck in the same problem with GET, observer_field and REST
controller with the "_" stuff (some days already :-)

Have you got any solution or did you raised the ticket?

I have raised a ticket although the description is slightly different.

I believe the action is going to "index" because the "id"
parameter in
:with is not honoured by the restful controller as a proper ID (in that 
it doesn''t use the id value specified in the :with hash to construct
the
URL which, with a restful get request, means that it goes to the index).

I am still a relative newbie so if you can add some better details it 
will probably help
