Rails - Nov 2005 - (dup) Ajaxified Select List

(woops!, sent again in it''s own thread, sorry for the dup)

Hi,

I''m trying to dynamically add items to a select list with Ajax.
I''m
displaying the options of the list with render_partial_collection and 
passing it a list of galleries. When the page is hit initially the 
drop-down list renders correctly (with galleries from my db). When I 
submit my form (using form_remote_tag) with the new gallery to add, my 
controller takes a turn at rendering the same partial, but spits out 
plain text within the select tags instead of option elements. Right, so 
here''s the code...

___controller: test_controller.rb___
class TestController < ApplicationController
   def index
     @galleries = Gallery.find(:all).map { |g| g.name }
   end
   def add
     @newGal = Gallery.new
     @newGal.name = @params[''new_gallery'']
     @newGal.save
     @galleries = Gallery.find(:all).map { |g| g.name }
     render_partial_collection ''shared/gallery'', @galleries
   end
end


___partial: shared/_gallery.rhtml___
<option><%= gallery %></option>


___view: index.rhtml___
<%= form_remote_tag(:update => "update_galleries",
                     :complete => evaluate_remote_response,
                     :url => { :action => :add } ) %>
   <%= text_field_tag :new_gallery %>
   <%= submit_tag "Submit" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

<select id="update_galleries">
   <%= render_partial_collection ''shared/gallery'',
@galleries %>
</select>

What''s interesting to me is that if I use a div tag instead of a 
select, and add, say, a list of links using my partial, the html is 
retained. Perhaps I''ve just been staring at this too long this morning.
Ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

I just found that it works fine in Safari but not in Firefox. Troubling.
