Rails: submit (via AJAX) when drop-down option clicked

Question

What is the easiest and most graceful way to auto-submit an AJAX form when a drop-down box\'s option is selected? I\'m creating an administration page where the admin can modify

Answer 1

Three steps!

1. Make your form_for a remote_form_for; add an id!
2. Add an observe_field after your select
3. Configure your observe_field to submit your form

The last bit looks something like:

<%= observe_field "id_of_select", :function => "$('form_id').submit();" %>
