I would do it as follows: + Set a jquery event on your select in some .js file:
$("#your_select_id").on("change", function(){ $.ajax({ url, data, etc... checj jquery docs }); }); I suggest .on() assuming you are using jquery 1.7. Alternatively you can check .delegate() or .bind() if you are using older versions. + Controller: def updating_action [...] respond_to do |format| format.js end end + View updating_action.js: Updating jquery and rails code such as $(id).val("<%=escape_javascript(@value)%>") Check .val(), .replaceWith(), .text() and other similar jquery methods to help you update your view. Alternatively you can handle response on your ajax call, but I'm used to do it like this, which seems to me easier and more flexible. Maybe someone else can simplify it even more...
