Question

I want to render a partial depending on a selection in selection box. This looks trivial but I can’t find an example.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Regards

If you’re simply trying to render a partial on the page that the form submits to,

<%= render :partial => params[:your_selectbox_value_matching_the_partial_you_want] %> 

So if you had a select box like

<select name='the_partial'>     <input value='partial1'>Some Partial</input>     <input value='partial2'>Another Partial</input> </select> 

You’d need to render

<%= render :partial => params[:the_partial] %> 

Assuming you have _partial1.html.erb and partial2.html.erb in your view folder
