Hello, I've seen numerous tutorials on this but have yet to get anything working. It's been about 5 days, and I am getting a little frustrated, so here goes
Here is the model:
items has_many inventories inventory has_many locations locations has_many warehouses
Here is the view:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<% form_for (@item), :url=> {:action => "create", :id => @user.id} do | i> %> <%= i.text_field :name %> <%= render :partial=>'getlocation' %> <%= submit_tag 'Submit' %> <% end %>
getlocation.rhtml
Location: <%= collection_select :inventory, :location_id, @locations, :id, :streetadrees1 %> <br>
<div id="inventory_location_id"> Warehouse location: <%= collection_select :inventory, :warehouse_id, @warehouse, :id, :name %></div> <%= observe_field("inventory_location_id", :frequency=> 0.025, :update => "inventory_warehouse_id", :with => 'location_id', :url => { :action => 'getlocation' } ) %>
And the controller def new @location= Location.find(:first, :conditions=>['primaryloc=?', '1'] @locations = Location.find(:all) @warehouse = Warehouse.find(:all, :conditions=>['location_id=?', @location.id]) @item = @business.items.build end def getlocation
@location = Location.find(params[:location_id]) @locations = Location.find(:all) @warehouse = Warehouse.find(:all, :conditions=>['location_id=?', @location.id])
render :partial => 'getwarehouse'
end
Results: The javascript does pass to the params to the server when the location select menu changes, but the warehouse doesn't seem to collect the new data, and update its list. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. (and yes, I need to use observe field, a totally client side solution will not work for my purposes).
