Here is the code:

Generated HTML: [http://pastie.org/339969](http://pastie.org/339969)

This works great in Gecko and Webkit based browsers, but IE throws an  
error: “Object doesn’t support this property or method”. Any clues?

Thanks,

Curious, how was the onchange event generated? Did you use  
remote\_function?

It’s been a while since I’ve used prototype for these calls - but I  
know for a fact that this works using the jrails plugin and just  
adding an onchange event to the pulldown via jquery and  
remote\_function.
