JS data to rails view helper

Rails
1

I have a view helper like ryan bates complex forms task helper, rails
2.2.2. Anyway is there a way to send the value selected in a select
menu to
the helper? I am trying to do stuff without going back to the server.

<%= select_tag :discout_code, options_for_select(@discount_codes)%><%=
add_exclusion_date_link(‘Add Existing’, JS ) %>

Ya I have seen that. How does that apply to what I am doing?

Ok, is there another way to get this to work without going back to the
server to just get a value from the select?

if you’re trying to use the value selected by the user in your helper
through js, you can’t.
js is client side, helpers are server side.

  Here is the partial:
  <div class="form_field code-column  ">

<% fields_for_exclusion_date(excluded_date) do |excluded_date_attr| %>
<%= excluded_date_attr.label :exclusion_date,‘Excluded Date:’ -%>
<%= excluded_date_attr.calendar_date_select :excluded_date, :class
=>
“valid_from_date-input text-input”,:value => value %>
<%= link_to_function “remove”,
“$(this).up(’.form_field’).remove()” %>
<% end %>

Here is the view:
<%= select_tag :discout_code, options_for_select(@discount_

codes)%><%= add_exclusion_date_link(‘Add Existing’, Select value goes
here )
%>

try updating the value attribute of the line that uses
calendar_date_select
via js? so always render the partial
but on change of select value, update the value attribute.

grab the input:select with jquery, is easy, the video shows a bit about
dealing with selects, after that

$.ajax{
type: ‘POST’,
url: ‘controller/action’
data : { value: ‘grab it from the element’},
success: jadah , jadah, jadah
error: jadah , jadah, jadah
}

set the route for the action
create an action that responds to XHR

if you have any problem traversing the html paste some html output to
see if
i can help you grab the element
