I have two <select> objects. The first one (let''s use the standard example of artists/albums here) is pre-loaded from the page but I want the second one to load when the user changes the value in the first form. Before RoR I would just do this with the onChange handler of the <select> object. The onChange would fire off a javascript function that would use the results of a XMLHTTPRequst to reset the options for the target <select>. In RoR the standard way seems to just be replace the entire field object by replacing the contents of a div (observe_field, etc). Is there any built in way to just replace the items in the select? What am I missing? Thanks, Geoffeg
