The problem is that is the collection select object is repeated in a table of objects so this ID appears multiple times. To deal with it I created a <form id ="#{machine.fqdn}"> .... collection_select object </ form> around each of these and tried to refer to them using $("# {machine.fqdn}").machine_user_id.selectedIndex=whatever, but the prototype $() function does not seem to want to take a variable. It seems to work with a static id, but not a variable one. Any ideas how this could be done?
