Two ways of doing this: either the observe_field thingy has a callback
that redirects in the right circumstances or you switch to using
render :update (and then use page.redirect_to), In the latter case you
have to use render :update for all of these 3 possibilities and you
need to change your observe_field invocation to not pass the :update
option.
