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,
