It does not work when i have to chain the select boxes. eg) When i select countries, states should get populated and when i select states, cities should get populated. The AJAX request when selecting the state is not submitted to the server. This is probably because the response for the states does not replace the innerHTML of the page. : 'Select country' %> : : 0.25, :update => "states_list", :url => {:controller => :moduls, :action => :get_active_states}, :with => "'country_id='+encodeURIComponent(value)") %> 0.25, :update => "chapters_list", :url => {:controller => :moduls, :action => :get_active_chapters}, :with => "'state_id='+encodeURIComponent(value)") %> Any Ideas?

:

‘Select country’ %>

:

:

0.25,
:update => “states_list”,
:url => {:controller => :moduls, :action => :get_active_states},
:with => “‘country_id=’+encodeURIComponent(value)”) %>

0.25,
:update => “chapters_list”,
:url => {:controller => :moduls, :action => :get_active_chapters},
:with => “’state_id=’+encodeURIComponent(value)”) %>

Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Pratik

Shouldn't fill_orders_box be get_orders? Also, if you leave out the :frequency on your observer it will use events instead of polling. Thanks for this. Shouldn’t fill_orders_box be get_orders?

One slight improvement that i made was to use the 'order' partial in the view. Easier to maintain in future Very nice.
