Select_tag and remote_function not passing params in IE

Hi all,

I have this code:

<%= select_tag “user_prefix”,
“<Choose Prefix>
Mr
Mrs
Miss
Dr
Ms
Captain
Father
Hon
Judge
Prof
Mstr
Rabbi
Rev
Sen
Sie
Sister”,
:onchange => remote_function( :update => ‘prefix’,
:url => { :action => ‘set_prefix’, :id => @user.id},
:with => “‘params=’ + escape(value)” ) %>

My problem is that when the ‘set_prefix’ function gets called in IE
Browsers the value does not get passed along in the params list, but for
Firefox and Chrome Browsers the value does. Has anyone come across this
before, or do I have an error in my code? Thanks for any help,
