This might be more of an HTML general question, but I have been trying to find a "rails" way to do this and have come up short. What I want to do is to have a div appear if a certain selection from a drop-down is selected or dissapeare if another option is selected. Here is what I have: <select id = "user_role" name = "user[role]"> <option value = "Admin" <%= @user.role == ''Admin'' ? ''selected "selected"'' : nil %>>Admin</option> <option value = "Agency Admin" <%= @user.role == ''Agency Admin'' ? ''selected = "selected"'' : nil %> onselect = "alert(''TEST''); document.getElementById(''agency_admin_div'').style.display = '''';"> Agency Admin</option> <option value = "Agent" <%= @user.role == ''Agent'' ? ''selected = "selected"'' : nil %>>Agent</option> <option value = "Travel Manager" <%= @user.role == ''Travel Manager'' ? ''selected = "selected"'' : nil %>>Travel Manager</option> <option value = "Traveler" <%= @user.role == ''Traveler'' ? ''selected = "selected"'' : nil %>>Traveler</option> </select> This doesn''t work, and I have been unable to find an oppropriate rails or html example that gives me what I want. I have done similar things with rails helpers before but never with the "select" tag. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, -S -- Posted via ruby-forum.com.
