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

I am using Rails 5 & I was also facing the similar situation but in my case the answer given by @scott was not submitting the form using AJAX as expected though I added the remote: true option to the form (I don't have submit button in the form).

If somebody is also facing the similar problem try to change the JS code like this-

<% form_for membership remote: true, id: '#member_form' do |f| %>
  <%= f.select :permissions, [['none', 0], ['admin', 9]], onchange: '$("#member_form").trigger("submit");' %>
<% end %>

Hope this helps..
