First, look at the html in Firebug to make sure the Ajax actually exists on the page. You've got the observe_field wrapped in a condition and it may be that it's not getting rendered. Second, assuming the observer is getting rendered, it's looking for a field that doesn't exist and so will never fire. As side notes... 'and' and '&&' are not the same thing. Although it's probably not the source of your problem here, you should be aware of operator precedence. 'and' and 'or' are at the very bottom of the list. Idiom-wise 'current_associate.channel_id != nil' is more typically written '!current_associate.channel_id.nil?' It's safer to use .blank? than .nil? (or '!= nil') as it will catch nil, false, and the empty string. Lastly, :with => "'associate_inoutexplanation=' + value" is equivalent to :with => "associate_inoutexplanation".
