I've just made my first form using select boxes that update each other via observe_field. It works really well for the creation of record and it's making the form a whole lot nicer to use.
The problem is editing records, the first select box is not part of the model but is used to populate the second select, which is a required attribute of the model. When the edit form is displayed, the second box is blank (as the first needs to be selected) and so you have to manually change it before you edit anything else and submit the form. I'm hoping there's some clever trick I haven't even thought of that could make this work. Ideally, when the form is displayed, id like it to get set the first select box based on the contents of the second, and then set the second to the models attribute. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this very well so please don't hestitate to shout for more info. I'd be very grateful to know how to get around this.
