Rails - Jul 2011 - Autosubmit a form via AJAX (Rails 3.1)

Hi!

I have a form with only a checkbox. When the user clicks this checkbox I 
want to submit the form through AJAX. It''s like a TODO-list where you
can
mark the item as done by ticking a box.

So, how can I do this? :) I''m using Rails 3.1.

I guess there is no native function to achieve this. So far I have this:

My form in the view:

<%= form_for [@list, item], :remote => true do |f| %> 
    <%= f.check_box :status %> 
<% end %>

Then in my javascript file I guess I need to do something like (coffee):
   
$(''input#item_status'').live ''click'', (e)
->

    form = $(this).parent(''form'')

    /* SUBMIT FORM HERE! */
   

Any ideas?

Hi,

just run submit()

$(''input#item_status'').live ''click'', ->
   $(this).parent(''form'').submit()

param (e) is not needed, even in coffee :)

Hehe great! I actually tried it in an onClick="" but that
didn''t submit the
form through AJAX so I didn''t think it would work when doing it
directly in
jQuery either :) It does work indeed.

And I now I don''t need the param (e). It''s a habit to pass in
case I need
it. Otherwise I remove it :)

Thanks for the quick help!
