On change of drop down a textfield emerging

Rails
1

hi,

i have a situation where i have a list of options from which a user
selects
his options if its not in the list he/she selects Others/Not Present and
a
new textfield should pop up and the data entered there should be
considered
instead of dropdown.

i have done this using javascript/dhtml but i was wondering how this can
be
done using pure rails i.e using some of the RoR apis?.

i would appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

warm regards

Why not try an auto_complete field?

take a look at this… http://script.aculo.us/demos/ajax/autocompleter
And then look in the rails API for ‘auto_complete_for’ and
‘text_field_with_auto_complete’
