I asked about this before but perhaps didn't state clearly
what it was
I wanted.
I have a select box and based on the user's choice a second
select
would be populated that relates to the choice made in the
first box.
I've googled around and found little on dependent drop
downs for
rails.  Kind of  surprises me since I'd think it would be a
more
common function.  Can anyone point me in the direction ?

TIA
Stuart

Alright, I found the thread. It probably makes sense for me
at this
point to get familiar with Ajax, rjs and all in Rails,
before
attempting.

As I'm reading through the AJAX stuff (in AWDWR) I'm
wondering about a
few things
If I have this one element in my form where when user picks
option
from another element is loaded - is this more of a
javascript coding ,
like "onclick" or something that could be done
with what's available
within Rails.
One idea is I'm having is to have that section of my form
as a partial
that will get triggered in the controller to update.  This
make sense
?

It's quite easy do that with the prototype helpers. Just use an observe of some element that calls a method in your controller, which in its turn will update a div on your page with a partial. Or you could look at the UJS plugin, I found it most useful as your view is a lot cleaner than when using the built-in methods.


Best regards
