Observer not working for select field

Rails
#1

Hi,

My code is as follows:

select one
<%Report.get_criteria_array(report.model_list,
session[:app_user_id], term_type).each{|arr|%>

<%=arr[1]%>

<%}%>

<%= observe_field(“criteria[#{count}][type_id]”,
:function => “term_selected(#{count},’#{report_key}’)”)%>

And the javascript that gets generated is:

select one Company Name

But the observer doesnt fire whenever i select anything from the select
list.

Hi Neha,

Do you have Firebug installed? It would help (a lot) to know what JS it
says is being generated.

I believe that the observer on a select fires with “onChange” which
means you have to tab out of the select before the observer will
detect the change.

I’ve tested it (with an alert call instead of term_selected) and it
works for me.
Maybe there’s a javascript error in other part of the code?

My whole situation is like this:

I am using extjs for my tab layouts.
When i am getting a tab to be loaded i am making a call to a method and
from there i do
if(some condition)
render :partial=>‘x’
else
render :partial=>‘y’
end

When partial ‘x’ is rendered, upon some successful completion of an ajax
call i then render partial ‘y’ by doing

render :update do |page|
page.replace_html ‘div_id’, :partial=>‘y’
end

Now the issue is in partial ‘y’ i have an observer and it gets fired if
am coming to that partial from x and then y. But if i come to the y
partial straightaway the observer is not getting fired at all.

Can someone help me with what could be the difference that is not
letting the observer to fire.

So the observer works in all cases except for one.
