Rails - May 2007 - Disabling textfields while submitting ajax call

Hi
I have a form_remote_tag-form that submits the contents of a text-
field to the server. I have added javascript calls that show a spinner
and hide the submit button while the server is processing the request,
and would like to disable the textfield too.

I managed to disable the textfield using the prototype call $
(''text_field_id'').disabled = true; but when I do that the
content of
the text field doesn''t get sent to the server! Is there a way to
disable the text-field and still get the content sent to the server?

Best regards
Sebastian

Without looking up any documentation, isn''t there a hook in the
prototype function that is called immediately after submitting the
form that you can use to disable the field after the contents are
sent?

The callbacks as listed are:

:loading:	Called when the remote document is being loaded with data by
the browser.
:loaded:	Called when the browser has finished loading the remote
document.
:interactive:	Called when the user can interact with the remote
document, even though it has not finished loading.
:success:	Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed, and the HTTP
status code is in the 2XX range.
:failure:	Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed, and the HTTP
status code is not in the 2XX range.
:complete:	Called when the XMLHttpRequest is complete (fires after
success/failure if they are present).

Using :loading is working!
Thanks for the help.
