Question

I have a select list with several options. I wanna choose one then it straight away direct me to a page. I don’t wanna have any submit button. How do I do that in Rails?

Answer 1

You can achieve this with javascript. If you are using jQuery you can do something like this.

$(function(){
  $("select#your_select_field_id").change(function(){ 
    if ($(this).val() == "the desired field") {
      window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
    }  
  }
});

I didn’t tested the code, it could contain syntax errors, but you can get the idea form this snippet.
