Rails - Mar 2006 - Newbie - populating select list from db - BUMP :)

Hi!

in the same problem with a select with some values from db:

the following select in test.rhtml:

<%= select(:listSetting, :code, @listSettings) %>

where

@listSettings  = ListSetting.find(:all, :order => "code").map {|u| 
[u.code, u.id] }


i have an observer_field defined in test.rhml as below:

<%= observe_field("listSetting_code",
       :update => "values_span",
       :url => {:action => :listSetting_code}
       )
    %> 
which will observe the select object and run the code from 
ListSetting_code method from controller.

the log after changing the select is as below:

Processing ListAdminController#listSetting_code (for 127.0.0.1 at 
2006-03-22 14:39:17) [POST]
 Parameters: {"action"=>"listSetting_code",
"value"=>"listSetting_code",
"1"=>"",
"controller"=>"list_admin"}

2 short n00b questions:

1. what it means "1"=>"" in the log file?
2. how do I get the value of option selected in controller method?

TIA.
