Hi,
I’m trying to use a partial that acts as both the edit a view for my
application. within this partial I have a collect_select, for
example,
<%= collection_select(myTag, :product_id,
@products, :id, :description, options ={ :prompt => “select product”},
{
:onChange=>remote_function(:update=>div_id,:with=>"‘id=’+this[this.selectedIndex].value",:url=>{:action=>:list_by_product_id,:tag=>myTag})
}
) %>
When rendering the partial for a new record item I want it to display
“select product”, however when displaying an existing item then to
simply show it in the list without “select product” - if I remove
options ={ :prompt => “select product”} when showing an existing saved
item the select list will default to the correct item.
So, can I conditionally set options ={ :prompt => “select product”}
within the code? So far I’ve not found a way without getting sytax
errors; I thought something like;
<% if product.new_record? %>
but I just don’t know how to get all the sytax right.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
