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?

Thanks
Will
