Hello, I am new to Ruby and Rails. I have a _form.html where there are 2 drop down lists. The first one shows a list of categories and the second dropdown shows a list of sub-categories. How can I get the values of the second dropdown based on what the user selected in the first dropdown list ? Is the "merchant_account" object available in a variable in this form automatically or do I have to create it by assignment ? -------------------------------------------------- <tr><td><label for="merchant_account_business_category">Business category:</label> </td><td><%= options = [["Select a business category", ""]] + BusinessCategory.find_all.collect { |x| [x.business_category, x.id] } select("merchant_account", "business_category_fk", options ) %></td> </tr> </tr> <tr><td><label for="merchant_account_business_sub_category">Business sub category:</label> <td><%= options = [["Select a business sub category", ""]] + <HOW DO I GET THE LIST OF SUB-CATEGORIES HERE for the SELECTED BUSINESS CATEGORY ?> select("merchant_account", "business_sub_category", options ) %> </td> --------------------------------------------- Any help would be appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
