observe_form

observe_form(form_id, options = {})

Like observe_field, but operates on an entire form identified by the DOM ID form_id. options are the same as observe_field, except the default value of the :with option evaluates to the serialized (request string) value of the form.

Multiple select and observe form

MrJaba ยท Oct 6, 20081 thank

To make an observe form send all of the values selected in a multiple select html list, ensure you have the square brackets set in the name for the select tag e.g: group[]. This makes it pass the selected options in the params hash as an array.

<% remote_form_for :model, :url => {:action => 'list'}, :html =>{:id => 'model_id'} do |form| %>

<%= select_tag('group[]', options_for_select(Model.find(:all).collect{|v|v.property}), :multiple => true) %>

<% end %>

<%= observe_form( 'model', :frequency => 2, :url => {:action => 'list'} ) %>
