Question

I want to submit a form whenever checkboxes are clicked (I already have ajax set up with Rails) – this means even if it gets unchecked. Also I never want the click handler to unbind, so a user can click a checkbox as many times and the form will get submitted each time.

$(":checkbox").click(function() {
  $(this).closest("form").submit();
});

The above code works fine, but it stops working after the first click. How would I make it so that the above code will work even when a user clicks a checkbox more than once?

EDIT:

I am replacing the contents of the form (including the checkboxes) on submission of the form.

Answer 1

$(':checkbox').live('click',function() {
    $(this).closest('form').submit();
});
