Use the onchange (not onclick) event of the select box to trigger the next view. Obviously that should be an Ajax call, since there is no need to update the whole page. something similar, a category select with subcategories: the view with the main category select: <select name="category_main" id="category_main" style="float:left; width:200px;" onchange="<%= remote_function(:url => sub_category_depot_product_url(@product), :with => "'category_id=' + this.value") %>"> <option value='666'>Kies een categorie</option> <%= options_from_collection_for_select(@categories, "id", "title", (@product.category ? @product.category.category_id : 0)) %> </select> the action to get the sub categories: def sub_category @product = Product.find(params[:id]) @categories = Category.find(:all, :order => "title ASC", :conditions => "category_id = #{params[:category_id]} AND published=1") respond_to do |format| format.js end end the ajax response used by this action: page.replace(:category_sub, :partial => 'depot/products/ sub_category_select', :locals => {:categories => @categories, :product => @product}) and the partial used by the ajax response: <select name="product[category_id]" id="category_sub" style="float:left; width:200px; margin-left:8px;"> <%= options_from_collection_for_select(categories, "id", "title", product.category_id) %> </select> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
