[Still trying to safely get on the Rails mailing list...] Rubies: The great thing about Web programming is there's so many languages to chose from - or mix together. Specifically, an ERb page can contain 3 languages: <select id="myList"> <% for record in @table %> <option value="<%= record.id %>"><%= h(record.name) %></option> <% end %> </select> Okay, that's a combobox with names and values in it. Now how do I let the user select one option, and send it to the next page with link_to()? <%= link_to 'Go to Next Page', {:action => 'goToNextPage', :id => ??? } %> The third potential language is JavaScript, so in theory I could add an onclick event to each <option>, or similar, then express the link_to in raw HTML... <a id="linkOut" href="/page/goToNextPage/2">Go to Next Page</a> ...then use the onclick event to change the href attribute. However, that's not very Railish, and I'm sure there's some feature available which my newbescence has overlooked! -- Phlip http://www.greencheese.us/ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!!
