I'm using form_remote_tag to generate a remote form that contains nothing but a hidden_field_tag and a submit_tag. The form appears to be generated correctly (I see the <form> tag and the <input> field with type="hidden" contained in it) and it's submitted using Ajax to the correct URL, but the hidden field is not sent to the server. Is there any reason this shouldn't work?

I am using this in Rails 1.2 and Rails 2.0 and it works fine. Here is the relevant code from my template:
<% form_remote_tag(:url=>{:controller=>'comments', :action=>'add'}, :update=>"comments_#{show.id}", :position=>:bottom) do %> <%= hidden_field_tag('comment[task_id]', 0) %> <%= hidden_field_tag('comment[parent_id]', show.id) %> <%= submit_tag :reply.l %> <% end %>

Hmm, my code looks pretty much the same as yours (although I'm using RESTful routes). As I said, the HTML appears to be generated correctly, but for some reason the hidden field isn't being serialized to the server in the Ajax request. I added a request parameter instead and that worked in the interim, but I'm not sure why the hidden field didn't work...
