My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value.

Hi, How do I link two HTML SELECT''s together. Let''s say for example that I have a drop-down list with a list of all countries. Once the user selects one of the countries I would like to make an AJAX call back to the server to populate the second drop-down list with all of the cities for that country.
