Rails nonmodel select

first success

= select_tag('tweet_source', options_for_select([['',0],['My Tweets',1],['Retweets',2],['Favorites',3],['Mentions',4]],2), {})

<select name="tweet_source" id="tweet_source"><option value="0"></option>
        <option value="1">My Tweets</option>
        <option selected="selected" value="2">Retweets</option>
        <option value="3">Favorites</option>
        <option value="4">Mentions</option></select>

Want the onchange event to GET on tweets controller index action with tweet_source in params.

Looking for the rails (2.3) way to do this.  The option source is a collection, not a model.

onchange working yippee

= select_tag('tweet_source', options_for_select([['',0],['My Tweets',1],['Retweets',2],['Favorites',3],['Mentions',4]],2),{:onchange => remote_function(:url => {:action => 'index'}, :with => "'tweet_source='+this.value+''", :method => 'get')})


<select onchange="new Ajax.Request('/', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, method:'get', parameters:'tweet_source='+this.value+'' + '&amp;authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('84XCR3wF7cDiG6gQlzrcomqRlgLUUJ/4UzbOLs14mOA=')})" name="tweet_source" id="tweet_source"><option value="0"></option>
        <option value="1">My Tweets</option>
        <option selected="selected" value="2">Retweets</option>
        <option value="3">Favorites</option>
        <option value="4">Mentions</option></select>
