Hi Bryon -
It does seem that one more example that illustrated this would be of
benefit. I just got past this a few days ago with help from this list.
In order to post the form, you can put something similar to the
following within your ok: function
var win = Windows.focusedWindow;
var data = Form.serialize(win.getId());
var opt = {
method: 'post',
postBody: data,
onSuccess: function(originalRequest) {
fn_to_handle_server_response(originalRequest.responseText);
Dialog.closeInfo();
}
}
new Ajax.Request(url_to_post_contents_of_form_to, opt);
hth...
