Hi all,

I have this code:

```
<%= collection_select('declarations_payers', 'user', @users, 'id',

```

‘fullname’, {},  
{:onChange =\> remote\_function(  
:update =\> “participants”,  
:url =\> { :controller =\> ‘ajax’,  
:action =\> ‘declaration\_users’ }  
)  
}  
) %\>

It’s inside a div, inside a form generated with form\_tag.

But when I change the item of the selectlist, it doesn’t submit the  
form data. Does anyone know what’s the problem?  
Or maybe how I can solve this problem. I tried the serialize()  
function, but that can only be used for one field.

Thanks in advance!

I tried the :submit argument, but that requires the use of a form with  
an id.  
How can I used the default method form\_tag and add an :id to that? I  
can’t get that working.
