I created a simple Ajax checkbox control that I plan to contribute to scriptaculous (people seem to ask now and then), and it occurred to me that the really nice way to do it would be to provide the controller action as well - the developer could call something like

<%= remote_check_box ('checkbox-id') %>

and we'd automatically update session[:scriptaculous-checkbox-id]="true", or something like that. The same could work for InPlaceEditor. The way we do it today feels too much like scaffolding.

Has anyone considered doing this? I suspect it's easy to do, but there are some potential pitfalls - right now, AFAIK, no plugin intercepts URLs on their way to the controller.
