I'm learning Rails and I have a Rails 3 app where I'd like the user to submit a form. Let's call the form "jobs". There are five different types of jobs: find a person, find a car, find my money, find me a job, and find my phone.

form "job"
job type 1: find my missing family member
job type 2: find my car
job type 3: find my money
job type 4: find me a job
job type 5: find my phone

I would like the user to be able to select a job type...and then...based on the job type selected (1,2,3,4 or 5), a different form is displayed.

I'm trying to figure out how to do this and what comes to mind is some AJAX. I have no idea if that's the right way, but I'm thinking that the user could select a "job type" and then based on that job type I could use some AJAX to display the appropriate form.

I found the JQuery form plugin, but I didn't find something specific to my situation.

My questions:

Would it make sense to use AJAX to load a different form based on what the user selects?

If this does sound like a job for JQuery, do you have any suggestions on how to go about this? 

If this doesn't sound like a job for JQuery, my apologies!

Cheers!
