Hi,

I wonder how is possible to get a value that has been selected from the  
elemenet “select” within a form.

This is my case:

```
<td><%= select :worker_contract, :contract_type_id,

```

contract\_types\_for\_select.map{|c| [c.name, c.id]}, {:class =\>  
‘w150’, :selected =\> nil, :disabled =\> !admin?} %\>

I would like to filter the value that the user selects on this dropdown  
list.

Could you help me?

Best Regards
