Well then, the easiest way of doing that is:

  • inside the function that grabs the “save” action

$(“#form_id”).submit();

I’m not really sure the way colorbox works, what I gave works for example:

<%= link_to “save”, “#”, :remote=>true, :onclick=>“save_with_click”%>

function save_with_click(){

$(“#form_id”).submit();

}

I think you can do the same with your submit button

Ok, I give you the simple code.. Hope you can teach me.. Thank you. Where should I place "form_id"??

<%= form_tag action_tasks_path do %>   <table border="1">     <tr>       <td colspan="3" align="right">         <a class='inline' href="#inline_content"></a>         <div style='display:none'>           <div id='inline_content'>             <b>Do you want to save changes made to this job?</b><br/>                All details will be lost if you don't save them.                <br/><br/>                <%= link_to "Don't Save", main_home_path %> |                <a href="javascript:parent.$.colorbox.close()">close</a>

               <%= link_to "save", "#", :remote => true, :onclick => "save_with_click"%>           </div>         </div>       </td>     </tr>     <script>       $(document).ready(function(){         $(".inline").colorbox({inline:true, width:"500"});       });       function save_with_click(){         $("#form_id").submit();       }     </script>   </table>

  name: <%= text_field_tag :name, params[:name] %>   Description:   <%= text_area_tag :description, params[:description], :rows => 3 %> <% end %>

By form_id I meant the ID of the form (you can view that by checking the source code). I guess it is new_action_tasks, but this is an ID generated by rails, you can give it a value by sending it like “:id=> my_id” inside form_tag

I suggest this cast http://railscasts.com/episodes/136-jquery

I might give you an idea of what I’m saying :slight_smile:

Hi Javier,

I think I don't use colorbox now..

so, do you know to use jQuery Impromptu?? http://trentrichardson.com/Impromptu/index.php

Yeah, I can do it.

<%= link_to "save", "#", :remote=>true, :onclick=>"save_with_click"%> function save_with_click(){   $("#form_id").submit(); }

change to:

<%= form_tag save_file_path, :id => 'mysubmitform' do %> ...

<a href="javascript:save();">save</a> <script>   function save(){     $('#mysubmitform').submit();     return false;   } </script>

... <% end %>

This function can works for me!! I am using jquery colorbox. Thank you, Javier.

Glad to hear that :slight_smile:

I tought you jus wanted to save it via AJAX that’s why I use that remote true, you can do that label using rails. Also that :id=>“mysubmitform” may not be needed, just check the id of the form using a debugger (firebug in firefox or the one that comes in chrome).
