<%= form_tag url_for(new_manage_listing_media_path(3)),:method => 'get' do -%>
   <%= label_tag ':name', "Choose media:" %>      
   <%= select_tag "id", options_from_collection_for_select(@listing, "id", "name")%>
   <%= submit_tag("OK") %>
<% end %>

actually what i want is in form_tag url_for(new_manage_listing_media_path(3)), instead of 3 i want to put the select_tag's selected value.

Thanks, ariv

You have to use JavaScript to do what you're saying. Add an onUpdate handler to the select field, and update the action attribute for the form.

However, I think you can just leave out the three, and then the id value from the select will be used instead. Otherwise, name the select_tag something else, like lookup_id and use Model.find(params[:id] || params[:lookup_id]) in the controller, where Model is the model you're looking up.
