Rails animated toggle-switch - css

Question

I'm trying to implement a css animated toggle switch in a rails view but without succeeding.
I want when the switch is triggered to post an action to my rails controller.
Here is my code:
in my view:
<div class="onoffswitch">
<%= check_box 'onoffswitch', '0', id:"myonoffswitch", class: 'onoffswitch-checkbox'%>
<label class="onoffswitch-label" for="myonoffswitch">
<div class="onoffswitch-inner"></div>
<div class="onoffswitch-switch"></div>
</label>
</div>
when the switch is triggered i want it to do this post:
<%= link_to "switch",{controller: "static_pages", action: "local_switch"}, method: :post %>
and then i have the css based on 'http://proto.io/freebies/onoff/':
.onoffswitch {
position: relative; width: 50px;
-webkit-user-select:none; -moz-user-select:none; -ms-user-select: none;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox {
display: none;
}
.onoffswitch-label {
display: block; overflow: hidden; cursor: pointer;
border: 50% solid #CCCCCC; border-radius: 22px;
}
.onoffswitch-inner {
width: 200%; margin-left: -100%;
-moz-transition: margin 0.2s ease-in 0s; -webkit-transition: margin 0.2s ease-in 0s;
-o-transition: margin 0.2s ease-in 0s; transition: margin 0.2s ease-in 0s;
}
.onoffswitch-inner:before, .onoffswitch-inner:after {
float: left; width: 50%; height: 5px; padding: 0; line-height: 5px;
font-size: 16px; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;
}
.onoffswitch-inner:before {
content: "";
padding-left: 10px;
background-color: #3498DB; color: #FFFFFF;
}
.onoffswitch-inner:after {
content: "";
padding-right: 10px;
background-color: #CCCCCC; color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: right;
}
.onoffswitch-switch {
width: 20px; margin: -7.5px;
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 2px solid #CCCCCC; border-radius: 22px;
position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 43px;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s ease-in 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in 0s;
-o-transition: all 0.2s ease-in 0s; transition: all 0.2s ease-in 0s;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label .onoffswitch-inner {
margin-left: 0;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label .onoffswitch-switch {
right: 0px;
}
Thank you!

try this ajax code...
$("#myonoffswitch").change(function(){
if ($(this).is(":checked"))
{
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "/static_pages/local_switch", # add your correct url
dataType: 'script',
data : { id:2 }, #u can pass any no of data
success : function(data){
}
});
}
else{
}
});
this ajax request will be sent when your checkbox is checked or toggle to ON
