Ruby on Rails

The way I start doing this is to decompose the view into partials, at least one per picker. Make sure that each partial after the first one takes an argument (allowed to be null) indicating what the previous picker chose. If there is no argument passed, the picker is rendered with no options. Next, you need to add controller, with a route per picker, and either write unobtrusive JS event listeners, or add long-hand onchange arguments to your picker to trigger the next picker.

f.collection_select :picker_one, @picker_one_options, :name, :id

$(document).on('change', '#picker_one', function(evt){
$('#picker_two_holder').load('/pickers/picker_two/' + $(this).val());
});

In the pickers_controller, you'd have a method like

def picker_two
@picker_two_options = Option.find(params[:id]).children
render partial: 'picker_two', layout: false
end

Each picker then loads the next one, and finally, the surrounding form is submitted with all the dynamic pickers within it.

Let me know if any of this is too cryptic.
