Hi I''d like to do nested select controls, where the options in one select are based on the select value of another, kind of like http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/n-related_selectboxes.htm Anyone ideas ? Erik

Hi slightly off-topic but you may have an answer stil : which method do you use for internationalised select controls ? (there are probably plenty, I''m trying to get various advices!)

Hi Thibaut, Not sure whether that''s a question to me directly but if so I''ve never had to internationalize an app and have therefore not come across the situation you describe. Sorry.

I went the Ajax approach, but I''m stuck trying to get the value of the
selected option to pass to the method.
The last thing I tried was something like this, which rails reports an
error that it can''t find ''this'',
<td>
<select onChange=''<%= remote_function(:update =>
''select_div'',
:url => { :controller => ''trade'',
:action=>
''select_group'', :id =>
escape(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) }) %>''>
<%= options_from_collection_for_select(@groups, "id",
"name") %>
</td>
<td>
<div id="select_div">
<%= render_partial "trades_select" %>
</div>
</td>

Try using :with as a param to remote_function, rather than using :id in
the :url. I''m using with to pass multiple parameters the same way as
you talk about below. You should end up with something like.
<%remote_function(:update => ''select_div'',
:url => { :controller => ''trade'',
:action => ''select_group'' },
:with => "''id='' + this.value")
%>
I''m not referring to this, rather I''m using $() to refer to
another
element on the form but it should work the same way.

Hi,
I too, am in need of a select list solution like this. So I thought i''d
just take what had been discussed in this thread and put it to work.
Made some changes and decided to give it a go. But no luck. I am not
even getting any requests sent back to the server.
<%= select(''invoice'', ''project_id'',
@projects.collect { |p| [ p.name,
p.id] }, { :prompt => true },
{ ''onChange'' => remote_function(:update =>
''tasks'', :url => {
:controller => ''/manager/invoice'', :action =>
''tasks'' })} ) %>
<div id="tasks"></div>
I tried using observe_field too, but that didn''t work too well either.
Is there something wrong there that I just can''t see?
And in the controller the action ''tasks'' just returns render
:text => ''test''

Is the /manager/invoice/tasks action definitely not being hit? You should see it being called in the output of webrick if that''s how you are developing. If it''s not being called do you have the prototype javascript libraries referenced? Have you tried calling manager/invoice/tasks manually (as a url) to check that the text is being output as expected? At this stage, if your action is not being called I''d suspect the js libs not being referenced. Let me know how you get on with the above and we can take it from there if it''s still not working.

Heya Chris, You were right. As always nowadays for some reason I end up typing typo for type. So I was trying to call prototypo instead of prototype and I had a CSS include error too so I didn''t see it come up. Silly me.

Chris
How are you passing multiple parameters using the :with element ? I''d
like to pass both an id as (works) below, but also a counter value -
kind of like (which seems to cause a script error)
<%= remote_function(:update => ''select_div'',
:url => { :controller => ''trade'', :action =>
''select_group'' },
:with => "''id='' + this.value,
''counter='' 1")
%>
