javascript code in view page. there is select object in my view page and

You can not do that because map.connect is formed like below:

map.connect ‘:any/:thing’,  
:controller =\> “report”,  
:action =\> “access”  
:filter =\> :any  
:thing =\> ‘any option’

do you have any idea how to do it?  
I have a sample code of my friend but I didnt understand it well  
%w( optimize report sheet ).each do |controller|  
map.connect  
“:enterprise\_code/:m\_hierarchy\_id/:t\_project\_id/#{controller}/:action/:id”,  
:controller =\> “project/#{controller}”,  
:requirements =\> { :m\_hierarchy\_id =\> /\d+/, :t\_project\_id =\>  
/\d+/ }  
end

in routes.rb

Actually I could nt understand the logic of parameters in routes.  
my question was quite silly I think.

thank you very much for your commend again.

if i read this script, it will work.

Let me explain your friend script mean off.

There will be 3 controllers name, you will run, optimize, report, sheet.

> %w( optimize report sheet ).each do |controller|  
> map.connect  
> “:enterprise\_code/:m\_hierarchy\_id/:t\_project\_id/#{controller}/:action/:id”

example your enterprise\_code params in /project/optimize is ‘Voo\_doo’,  
and :t\_project\_id is ‘1’,:m\_hierarchy\_id is ‘2’, :action is ‘testing’,  
:id is ‘5’

your url will be [http://localhost:3000/voo\_doo/02/01/optimize/testing/5](http://localhost:3000/voo_doo/02/01/optimize/testing/5)

* * *

## :requirements =\> {:name =\> /reg\_exp/…}

specifies that the given components, if present in the URL, must each  
match the specified ‘regular expressions’ in order for the map as a  
whole to match. In other words, if any component does not match this map  
will not be used.

* * *

## :action is where your def method in your controller you want to use
