Just look at the prototype.js file, it's right at the top. The latest
version if 1.6.0, there are many changes from 1.5 to 1.6. Also there
is a newer version of Scriptaculous (1.8) to go along with the new
version of Prototype.

When you call submit like that, you are submitting the form through
the normal form POST means, not the Ajax way.
Why not just have individual checkboxes that have their own Ajax
request and do away with the remote_form?
<%= check_box_tag
replace_spaces(category.name),replace_spaces(category.name), false,
:name => "category[#{category.name}]",
:onclick => remote_function(
:url => { :action => 'add_filter' }, :with => "'#{
replace_spaces(category.name) }=' + this.value" %>
I'm taking advantage of another Rails helper method, remote_function,
which translates to a new Ajax request. See this page for more info:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M000965
If you want to leave your code relatively untouched, and still use the
remote_form combined with each click of a checkbox causing an complete
form submit, try something like this:
<% form_remote_tag :url => {:action => 'add_to_filter2'}, :html =>
{:id => "frm_categories"} do -%>
<%= check_box_tag
replace_spaces(category.name),replace_spaces(category.name), false,
:name => "category[#{category.name}]",
:onclick =>
'$('frm_categories').onsubmit()' %>
<% end -%>
I think that will work.
