Hi, I am trying to get a remote\_form\_for to work, and I have it  
currently making the request and updating the div etc… but when it  
makes the request it is not passing the value of the collection select  
in the parameters, it is only passing the id, action and controller.  
Hopefully someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Controller Code:

def assign\_job  
job = Job.find(params[:id])  
job.update\_attributes(params[:job])  
@result = ‘Saved!’  
render :partial =\> ‘test’

end

View Code:

```
  <% for job in @jobs %>
    <tr class="<%= cycle('list-line-odd', 'list-line-even') %>">

      <% remote_form_for :job, job,
                             :url => { :action => 'assign_job', :id

```

=\> job },  
:update =\> ‘result\_’ + job.id.to\_s,  
:complete =\> visual\_effect(:highlight,  
‘result’) do |f| %\>

\<%= job.number %\>  
\<%= job.company.name %\>  
\<%= job.passenger\_name %\>  
\<%= job.job\_time.strftime(’%H:%M’) %\>  
\<%= %\>  
\<%= %\>  
\<%= f.collection\_select(:driver\_id, @drivers, :id,  
:company\_name) %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag ‘Save’ %\> 

 \<% end %\> \<% end %\>

It would probably help if your html was valid. tr elements can only  
contain th and td tags (those tags can contain forms, or you can have  
forms containing a larger part of the document, but sticking a form  
exactly where you’ve put it isn’t allowed.
