    <p>In a simple form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for @user do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.label :source, "How did you find out about us?", :class =&gt; "control-label" %&gt; &lt;%= f.select(:source, options_for_select([['-- Please select --',nil],['Source 1','Source 1'], ['Source 2','Source 2'], ['Other','Other']])) %&gt; &lt;%= f.label :source_other, "Specify Other Source" %&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :source_other %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am trying to learn how to use JQuery to only show the "source_other" text field when the value "Other" is selected from the "source" field. From what I've seen online, it looks like I need to use something like this:</p> <pre><code>$("#source").change(function() { if ($("#source").val()=="Other") $("#source_other").show(); else $("#source_other").hide(); }); </code></pre> <p>However, I am not quite understanding how to integrate the JQuery with my form. Could someone please point me in the right direction?</p> <p><strong>Updated:</strong></p> <p>Here is the resulting html snippet:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/users" class="new_user" id="new_user" method="post"&gt; &lt;label class="control-label" for="user_lead_source"&gt;How did you find out about us?&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select id="user_source" name="user[source]"&gt;&lt;option value=""&gt;-- Please select --&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Source 1"&gt;Source 1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Source 2"&gt;Source 2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Other"&gt;Other&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label for="user_source_other"&gt;Specify Other Source&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="user_source_other" name="user[source_other]" size="30" type="text" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
