submit a rails remote form with javascript

Question

In my rails app I have a remote form that looks something like this for example: ``` <%= form_tag some_path, :method => :get, :id => 'my-form', :remote => true do %> <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], :id => 'search-field' %> <%= submit_tag 'Go' %> <% end %> ``` Now i would like to submit this form via javascript and trigger all rails remote form callbacks. So far i have tried a few things but nothing seems to be working. Things i have tried: ``` $('#my-form').trigger('onsubmit') $.rails.callFormSubmitBindings( $('#search-form') ) ``` but no luck so far. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer
