I have a page that has a dropdown which i''m using observe_field on to make an ajax call back to my controller. The page initially displays fine.

Hello all, I have a form with a datetime_select. I need to use the actual time selected in an action triggered by observe_field. Could make it work with other select fields, but not with datetime_select. Seems that observe_field can locate the element just by the id (not by the name).
