Observe_field not generating any script

Rails
1

Hi - I have a view:

<% content_for(:page) do %>

New user

<% form_for :user, @user, :url => { :action => “create” } do |form| %>
<%= render :partial => ‘form’, :locals => { :form => form, :genders
=> @genders} %>
<%= submit_tag “Create” %>
<%end%>

<% observe_field(“user_country”, :function => “alert(‘Element
changed’)”) %> <========= line of interest

<%end%>

which renders a partial, and includes a select with id “user_country”

The html for this is:

U.S.A.

nothing happens. I don’t see any javascript in the html file that is
generated, and no message appears when i change the country.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Dino

Try changing:-

<% observe_field(“user_country”, :function => “alert(‘Element
changed’)”) %>

to:-

<%= observe_field(“user_country”, :function => “alert(‘Element
changed’)”) %>
