Ok this is the code I have in my view:
<select id="client_gender" name="client[gender]"
onChange="<%remote_function(
:url => {:action => ''change''}) %>">
<option value="">- Select -</option>
<option value="Male">Male</option>
<option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>
now in my change.rjs, I have:
if @client_gender.value = ''Male''
page.remove ''client_gender''
page.show ''male_form''
else
page.remove ''client_gender''
page.show ''female_form''
end
When I click on the option I want in my dropdown, it always shows my
''male_form'' no matter what I pick in the dropdown.
How can I fix this? And what If I had like 3 or more options what would
I do?
Thanks

You''re using Firebug, so turn on "ShowXMLHttpRequests" so you can see the exact request being sent to the server. You''ll see that "Male" or "Female" are not being sent. You should: 1) Wrap the whole thing in a remote_form_for() call. 2) Use observe_field() to submit the form on the ''change'' event for ''client_gender''> > now in my change.rjs, I have: > > if @client_gender.value = ''Male''This is always true, because you''re assigning ''Male'' to the variable. You want == for an equality test. At that point, it will always be false until you fix the problem above.> page.remove ''client_gender'' > page.show ''male_form'' > else > page.remove ''client_gender'' > page.show ''female_form'' > end > > When I click on the option I want in my dropdown, it always shows my > ''male_form'' no matter what I pick in the dropdown.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well i guess you use the wrong helper here. Remote-function doesn''t
automacigally take the value of the selected option and sends it in
params[] i think. You took the code from the Rails API docs i assume.
Your controller code might be helpful too
You should try observe_field:
<select id="client_gender" name="client[gender]">
<option value="">- Select -</option>
<option value="Male">Male</option>
<option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>
<% = observe_field "cliend_gender", {:url => {:action =>
change}, :on
=> "changed"}
This should take the "value" of the <select> tag and pass it in
the
params hash
