• “How can we get a drop-down list/select box to change our browser’s URL? We want people to see forum posts from the ‘Last 7 Days’, so the URL should change when they choose that from the select box.” One option is to wrap it in a form and use the onChange() JavaScript event hook to submit the form:

<code>
<% form_tag(:controller => forum, :action => :filter) do %>
  <%= select_tag('recent', options_for_select(filters]), {:onchange => "this.form.submit();"}) %>
<% end %>
