Question

I have a form that for the most part just submits as a normal form, so I don’t want to set in the form_tag the :remote => true option.

However, under certain circumstances I’d like to be able have a javascript function post the form as if it had been posted by :remote => true. What would I need to do in javascript to accomplish this?

Answer 1

I just tried this which definitely works, if the form has remote => true, just remove the data-remote attribute to submit normally w/ javascript ie

$('input').click(function(){ $('#form').removeAttr('data-remote') });

I’m guessing the opposite would probably work ie if the form doesn’t have remote => true just do

$('input').click(function(){ $('#form').attr('data-remote',true)});
