Hello All, I am very new to Web Development (in general) and Ruby on Rails and have been stumped on this for awhile. In my view I have a check box of which I need to grab a primary key value when checked. The primary key value will then need to be used to generate and populate a corresponding drop down list. Currently the data generated to view is similar to ... Telephone (primary key of 1) [check box] ... web user clicks check box then I need to display corresponding database data based on the primary key Internet (primary key of 2) [check box] ... same concept for Telephone using Internet PK Television (primary key of 3) [check box] ... same concept for Telephone using Television PK Can anyone please help me? Rachel
