Rails - Jan 2007 - Submit() a remote_form - using remote link_to?

Hello,

I am trying to submit a remote form without having to use the standard
submit_form button.

This is the call from my form:

<% form_remote_tag :html => {:name => ''myform''}, :url
=> {:action =>
:update_doc, :id => @doc} do -%>

and this is the link that i am using to submit the form:

<%= link_to_function ''Save'', "myform.submit()"
%>

The call to update_doc renders a rjs template. I think this should work
- but i keep getting a popup asking me to save a file - which contains
the follwing:

try {
new Effect.Highlight("myform",{});
} catch (e) { alert(''RJS error:\n\n'' + e.toString());
alert(''new
Effect.Highlight(\"myform\",{});''); throw e }

What am i doing wrong - i figure it has something to do with the ajax
call to submit the form -  which itself performs an ajax call to
update_doc.. how can i get around this???

The problem can''t be the two ajax calls, because i can change the link 
to the following:

 link_to ''Save'', "javascript:myform.submit()" %>

and it still fails and comes up with the save file prompt as before..
