Hi,

i want to create a form which contains 3 select-boxes which content  
depend on each other.  
i created the first select box:

\<% for project in @projects %\>  
  
\<%=project.name-%\>  
  
\<% end %\>

the :id =\> ??? should be replaced with the id of the project in the  
selected option-tag, but… how?

greetings,

Pascal
