I have this form which is a lot of edit_in_place fields so it really insn''t a form since there is no submit button. In this "form" is a link for a country and when you click that a drop down appears in it''s place and a country can be choosen, when that country is chossen the drop downs turns back into a link with the newly choosen country as the text. I had this working before by using options_from_collection_for_select and adding an onchange and setting it equal to a remote_function call. That worked. But now I would like for a particular country to be choosen by default but with the same functionality. So I changed my code and used a select helper: <% func = remote_function( :update => ''w_country'', :url => { :action => ''set_w_country'', :id => @user.id}, :with => "''select='' + escape(value)" ) -%> <%= select( "user", "w_country", Countrycode.find( :all, :order => ''country'' ).collect { |a| [a.country, a.id]}, :selected => Countrycode.find_by_country(''USA'').id, :onchange => func ) %> Now it selects the correct default country but my remote_function never gets called or executed. I think what is happening is that I don''t have the helper set up correctly - more specifically the :onchange. Does anyone know how to add the onchange part to the select helper and to have a certain entry set as the default?
