If you''ve not bought the Agile Web Development book or the new Rails Recipes book, you really should. A lot of the questions you''re asking are in there along with a lot of really important concepts. You need to look into observe_field which monitors a form field for changes and then updates an element (usually a div with an id) with the results from an AJAX call. Then you need an action that builds the second select box based on what the observe_field sends in. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org [mailto:rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org] On Behalf Of Buntin, Seth - KATE Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 3:57 PM To: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: [Rails] (no subject) Here is my db setup: focus id name sub_focus id focus_id name I have a select menu for focus and want to fill another select menu for sub_focus (with AJAX) depending on what the focus is can someone point me in the right direction?
