Hi All

I just tried (in a .rjs file)

page[:noq].innerHTML = select(“post”, “person”, 1.upto(10) {|p| [p, p]  
} )

It didn’t work. I also included the ‘select’ helper in the controller,  
but that didn’t help. I have to add that all this works when using HTML  
instead of the select helper!

Any suggestion what I do wrong in this select call.

Thnx  
LuCa

You probably mean page.replace\_html :noq, select…

If that doesn’t work, try :inline =\> “\<%= select… %\>”

hmmm, didn’t work, although the ‘text\_field’ helper does. I get the  
feeling something is wrong with the select statement, suggestions ?
