I have a model (PackingTypes) that have all the different packing types a warehouse person could want to pack with. I display this in the view with a select. There is going to be a different view associated with each packing type. I don''t want individual links I would like a select box. How would I go about "redirecting" to the appropriate packing method associated with packing type selected once the form is submitted?

One way to do this would be to have your select generate an AJAX request
to the server and have the server return the correct view for that
packing type using a different partial for each view type:
<%= select( :packing_types, :type,
@types.collect {|type| [type, type] },
{},
:onchange => remote_function( :with =>
"''packing_types[type]=''+escape(value)",
:loading =>
"Element.show(''loading-indicator6'')",
:complete =>
evaluate_remote_response,
:url => { :action =>
:select_packing_type} ) ) %>
<div id=''packing_type_view></div>
Then in your select_packing_type method:
def select_packing_type
render :update do |page|
case params[:packing_types][:type]
when "type 1":
page[''packing_type_view''].replace_html :partial =>
''type_one_partial''
[...]
end
end
end
This could be made DRYer in the case, but hopefully you get the idea.
When the user selects an option from the select drop down the value will
be passed to your controller and then the proper view will be rendered
from a partial and sent back to replace the current contents of the DIV
with the id of "packing_type_view".
