I have a collection_select that i want user to add custom fields to. I have a jQuery script that detects if the row "Custom" is chosen and adds a textfield to the page so the user can enter a custom name.
How can i store that custom made name in the db and update the collection_select?
<%= f.collection_select :kind_id, Kind.find(:all, :order => "created_at DESC"), :id, :name, {:prompt   => "Select a Type" }, {:id => "selector", :onchange => "type_change(this)"} %>
