Thanks, changing the last line to $(value.form).submit() worked! I notice a slight problem, however, which is that sometimes the newly updated approval field is not immediately shown after the controller serves up the ballots_path. Sometimes I need to refresh in order for me to see the newly-updated fields. Is this a problem with RoR (a delay?) or my sloppy implementation? Also, I understand that submitting the entire form is a poor solution to the problem but this is literally the first time I've ever submitted a remote form with JavaScript before so it was first thing I came up with. Would my code easily translate to this $.post() solution? I imagine that if I used .post() I wouldn't have to rely on hidden form data which would be nice.
