I have 3 models... facility - has_many :placements, has_many :client_slots placement - belongs_to :facility, has_one :client_slots client_slot - belongs_to :placements, has_one :facility My problem is that I want a select list of client_slots based upon facility_id which I get from the below code, but if the placement has a ''client_slot'' already, it doesn''t indicate it on the form. I want it to show the existing value and to offer choices based upon the facility_id too... on a placement form... <%= options = [[''Select a Facility'', '''']] + @facility.sort { |a,b| a.name <=> b.name }.collect { |fac| [fac.name, fac.id] } select ''placement'', ''facility_id'', options %> <%= select_tag ''placement'', ''client_slot_id'', { :disabled => ''disabled'' } %></span> <%= observe_field( :placement_facility_id, :update => :client_slot_id, :url => { :controller => ''placements'', :action => :lookup_client_slot }, :with => "''facility_id=''+escape(value)") %> and in controller def lookup_client_slot @client_slots = ClientSlot.find(:all, :conditions => ["facility_id = ?", params[:facility_id]] ).collect {|fac| [fac.name, fac.id]} render :inline => "<%= select ''placement'', ''client_slot_id'', @client_slots %>" end -- Craig White <craig-CnJ8jr4MGtxl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
