Rails: Ajax checkbox

Asked by renderbox in Ruby Scripting Language

Tags: Ruby

I am generating a list from a collection using partials.  In each row of the list I am using a checkbox which the user can use to set the "on-off" state of that item.  The intent is when the user clicks the checkbox an AJAX call is made to set that value in the Database.  I tried to use the "observe_field" but all I got was a JavaScript error:

Value 0 (result of expression this.callback) is not object.
http://localhost:3000/javascripts/prototype.js?1203866909 (line 2140)

Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?  Do I need to put the checkboxes within a form?

Thanks,
