Is there a way to submit ajax/json requests with simple_form for Rails

Question

With the standard Rails form_for, I was able to pass ajax requests though select and collection_select helpers as such:

<%= address.collection_select :cou         


        

Answer 1

It seems the valid way to do this now is:

:remote => true, :html => { :data => { :url => '/yoururl', :type => :json } }

which may look a little better with ruby 1.9 hash syntax as:

remote: true, html: { data: { url: '/yoururl', type: :json } }
