SETUP 1. Your form must have an ID, which is not included by defult in Rails, you can do <% form_for :model, :html => { :id => "model" }, :url... 2. The first class name for each field must be the name of the ActiveFormField type it should be set as. (class = "select" or class = "phone") See below for a list of available field types. 3. Set the requirements for each form. If required, include a class name "required". The order doesn't matter as long as it's not first. (class = "text required") 4. Create an instance of ActiveForm after the page loads. ( var bill = new ActiveForm(form_id); ) The form id should probably be the same as the instance name. That's it. Now in your javascript on the page you can do fun stuff like: Access and set the field value directly. The form ID is removed from the field id to create the attribute/field name. user.name("Steve") // Sets name as "Steve" user.name() // => "Steve" (don't forget the parenthesis () railsers') Trigger events user.country_field.after_set = function(value) { if(value = "USA") { $('user_state_div').show(); } } REFERENCING Overview VALUE: form.attribute(); OBJECT: form.attribute_field; ELEMENT: form.attribute_field.element; WRONG: user.name().after_set = function() {}; form.attribute() is not the ActiveFormField object. It is just a getter/setter. RIGHT: user.fields.name.after_set = function() {}; form.fields.attribute is the ActiveFormField object WRONG: user.fields.name.value; form.fields.attribute is not the actual input element, it is the ActiveFormField object RIGHT: user.fields.name.element.value; Though if you just want the value RIGHTER: user.name(); NOTES Choosing to go with the format of form.field.get() instead of form.attribute() and form.fields.field.get() because I'm finding my self using the field functions a lot more than I thougth I would.
