Why won't this form submit?

Here's my code - I've checked my development log and it shows that the form is not being submitted.

I know I can do it by adding a submit tag, but I don't want to do this. I want it to submit automatically when I check the box.

What am I missing?

 <h>
<%= form_tag do %> 
<%= check_box_tag(:zagat_status) %>
 <%= label_tag(:zagat_status, "Zagat status") %>
 <% end %>
 </h>

Javascript code

<script type="javascript">
          $(function() {
    $("h").click(function() {
        $(this).find('input:checkbox').prop("checked", true);
    });
});
      </script>

You can use the Rails built-in AJAX functionality (i.e. add remote: true to the form_tag).

<%= form_tag('/YOUR_URL_GOES_HERE', remote: true) do %>
  <%= check_box_tag(:zagat_status, true) %>
  <%= label_tag(:zagat_status, "Zagat status") %>
<% end %>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
    $("form").on('change', "input:checkbox", function(){
      $("form").submit()
    })
  })
</script>
