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.

Thanks again!
