Rails - Jan 2009 - Calling a remote method on choosing an item from Select

Hi,

Is there a way where in I can trigger remote action when an user choose
one of the options in the dropdown of "select" method?

Mebbe something like on_change but instead of triggering JS action,
remote action is what i am looking at.

Please suggest


Regards,
Sandeep

onchange is what you want. the javascript in there should make an ajax  
request.

Thanks Fred.
I used something like this:
{:onchange => ''window.location=this.value;''}
the value of the select option can be made text link. So it worked like 
a charm for me to load a new page on selecting an option.
