Before RoR I would just do this with the onChange handler of the <select> object. The onChange would fire off a javascript function that would use the results of a XMLHTTPRequst to reset the options for the target <select>. In RoR the standard way seems to just be replace the entire field object by replacing the contents of a div (observe_field, etc). Is there any built in way to just replace the items in the select?
