remote_form_for does not work with method = :get

It seems that remote_form_for does not work with method = :get since it does not change the prototype call. Is this a bug?

Not a bug, Don't use gets on any type of form submission. There is a very interesting history on the topic

I think there are plenty of form submissions where get's make sense (search engine queries, and other small form submissions that should be bookmarkable). I know the URL can only store a limited amount of data so this might get some people messed up.

I stand corrected! Yes.. should have qualified that forms which effect any server side state besides caching should not be accessible via a get.. my bad... apologies. I am not sure why Rails is putting the hammer down in this case..
