Hi, I''m learning ruby on rails at the moment so please consider if this is a silly problem. I have a index.rhtml file where the combo box lies. When this combo box with different areas changes it updates another combo box within the same file and displays all the campsites in that area. For this I''ve written: index.rhtml -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <form> <%= select(:selected, :location, GreatWalk.getAvailableLocations, {:prompt => ''Select a category''}, :id => :id_selected) %> <%= observe_field :id_selected, :url => {:action => :update_campsites}, :update => :campsites, :with => "walk_id" %> </form> <%form_for :booking, :url => {:action => :save_bookings} do |form|%> <div id="campsites"> <%=form.select "camp_id", Campsite.getAvailableCamps%> </div> <%=submit_tag "Get Camp And Save"%> <%end%> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- update_campsites.rhtml -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <div id="campsites"> <%=select "selected", "camp_id", @campholder %> </div> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is, no way in the world, I could get the selected campsite. I tried @booking=Booking.new(params[:booking]) and then (print @booking.camp_id) in the save_bookings action in the controller, it shows nil. I also tried putting @camp=params["selected"]["camp_id"] and then (print @camp )in update_campsites action in controller but gives error instead. Also after I click the button and change the first combo box value it doesn''t trigger any update to the second combo box. So, please help me find what I''m doing wrong here and how I can get that selected value, that would be so great. thanks regards, Jay -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
