select onchange question

I have this select statement, trying to change to a page that is the value of the select:

<%= select(:node, :id, $shelves,{:prompt =>'Select Equipment'}, { :onchange => "document.location.href = '/buildshelf/' + $F(\'node_id \').value + ' "} ) %>

How do I make this happen?

What is the HTML that is rendered from that?

<select id="node_id" name="node[id]" onchange="document.location.href = '/buildshelf/' + $F(&quot;node_id&quot;).value + ">

Can you see the problem there in the rendered HTML?

Well I did this: :onchange => "document.location.href = '/buildshelf/' + $F ('node_id').value + "

for the onchange part and I get this for html, still puzzled: <select id="node_id" name="node[id]" onchange="document.location.href = '/buildshelf/' + $F('node_id').value + ">

couldn't you just do something like:

onchange="document.location.href = '/buildshelf/' + this.value"

Of course, but I would have to pull my head out of my butt first. DOH!
