[Facebooker-talk] FBJS, Ajax, Select box, Dialog

[Alan Larkin]

Sigh ... facebooker.js#Ajax.Updater expects a function for onSuccess, not a 
String ...

<%= select_tag :player, options_for_select(...),
     :onchange => "Ajax.Request(this.getValue(), { onSuccess: function(data) {
       new Dialog().showMessage('Dialog', 'Hello World.');
       return false;
     }});" %>

does it XO
