submit a rails remote form with javascript

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?

Solution

  • You can just use .submit();

    $("#my-form").submit();
