I have a form where user can create a player and also associate a team with the it. The player form has a select list where user can select an existing team or select the 'new' option which displays a popup which allows user to create a new team and associate it with the player.
I have used javascript to display the popup window when user selects 'new' option.
My new team form is as follows:
<% form_remote_tag :url => {:controller => 'players', :action => 'createTeam'} do %>
<label style="width: 150px">Team name:</label> <%= text_field_tag(:team_name, nil) %>
<%= submit_tag("Create New Team") %>
<% end %>
controller - players, action - createTeam
def createTeam
@team = Team.create(:team_name => params[:team_name])
respond_to do |format|
if @team.save
flash[:notice] = 'Team was successfully created'
format.html { redirect_to teams_path }
format.js
else
flash[:notice] = "Team failed to save."
format.html { redirect_to teams_path }
end
end
end
I would like to be able to update the select list in my parent form (new.html.erb for player) dynamically each time i add a team.
I am a bit confused on how to do this.
I would be grateful if someone could give me an idea on how to go forward.
Many many thanks for any suggestion provided.
