Rails remote form submit through javascript

Question

I'm trying to create a very small simple form that edits a single checkbox, and submits automatically with AJAX when the checkbox is modified. Here's the code, which other SO questions imply should work:

    <%= form_for(workitem, :remote => true) do |f| %>
      <%= f.check_box :is_complete, :onchange => 'this.form.submit()' %>
    <% end %>

The problem is that this results in a full page HTML submit, rather than an AJAX submit. How do I trigger an AJAX submit?

This seems to work:

$(this.form).submit();

Good 'ol jquery to the rescue.

Be warned this will only work if you only have one form element on your page
