No one was able to answer Adam Thorsen's question:

I'm trying to use observe_form, like this:

http://pastie.caboo.se/8702

But the text area is not being passed - in fact it appears that it is not serializing the form at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer: I think there's a bug in the rails observe_form function. I put in the prototype code myself and it works great. For some reason, rails isn't adding on the form serialization code.
