[Rails] javascript help

[Steve Odom]

Thanks to both of you for the help. Your comments helped steer me in the
right direction.

I'm using the behaviour.js library so has allowed me to simplify it
somewhat. Here is my js:

    '.tag_link' : function(el){
        el.onclick = function(){
            var str = document.tag_form.discover.value + ", " + el.rel
            document.tag_form.discover.value = str;
        }
    },

And my form:

<form name="tag_form">
<input type="text" name="all" id="discover" size="16" value="test1, test2"/>
<a href="#" rel="mytag1" class="tag_link">click me</a><br />
<a href="#" rel="mytag2" class="tag_link">click me</a><br />
<a href="#" rel="mytag3" class="tag_link">click me</a><br />
</form>

It validates (except for not having an action in the form tag, which I'll
add in a bit. Does anyone see any problems with this? Seems to work fine.
