I have a script: $ -> $(document).on 'change', ('.ops_select'), -> val = $(".ops_select option:selected").val() $.ajax '/projects/update_oncalls/', type: 'GET' dataType: 'script' data: {ops_group_id: val } which triggers a "update_concalls.js.coffee" file to replace a the value in a select-tag. $(".oncalls_select").empty().append("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => @oncalls)) %>") As I have multiple instances of ".ops_select" I want to bind it to the recent selected and update only this. I have tried to fiddle in the closest function but can't succed. Some help would be great.
