ruby-on-rails3

I've seen this done using ajax & php, but not rails 3.

I've tried using:

<%= form_for(:technician, :url => {:controller => 'pos', :action => 'create_ticket'}, :remote => true) do |f| %>

but the page still refreshes each time. I'm building a point of sale program, so I don't want the page to refresh.

How do I send the form data to the controller to process and store in the database without refreshing?
