Easiest thing to do is to make a simple remote_form_for/ form_remote_tag and look at the jQuery it produces in its onsubmit function. However, I'm a little confused, why not just put your select box inside a form tag that posts to your URL and let rails helpers + jrails do the parameter scrapping and submission for you?
