 { :onchange =>
    remote_function(
         :url => {:action =>
''needstatus'',:id=>need.id},
         :with => "''status=''+this.value"     ) }
%>

CONTROLLER:

 def needstatus
  if params[:status]
          render  :partial => ''needstatus''

It doesn''t soon like you need to use remote_function at all - just  
have your onchange do a window.open with the appropriate url
