Rails - May 2005 - form additional content

Hello.
I''m trying to add extra content (in this case a select box) to a form.
I''ve search the API to see how this could be done and in 
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html#M000375
it says that "It''s also possible to add additional content to the
form
by giving it a block, such as..." but can''t seem to put that to
work.

Here is the code in new.rhtml (it''s similar to the example given in
the ActiveRecordHelper):

<% form(person, :action => "create") do |form| %>
<% form << content_tag("b", "Company") %>
<% form << collection_select("company", "id",
@company, "id", "name")  %>
<%  end %>

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Hugo

This should be:

<%= 
form(person, :action => "create" do |f|
  f << content_tag("b", "Company")
  f << collection_select("person", "company_id",
@company, "id", "name"
end 
%>

 ...missing some closing parenthesis or am I wrong?

Thanks for yours anwser. Both of them provided useful information and
yes Wolfgang, Michael  missed one parenthesis. Adding the parenthesis
made the solution work fine.

Here is the sode that worked:

 <%= form(person, :action => "create") do |f|
   f << content_tag("b", "Company")
   f << collection_select("person", "company_id",
@company, "id", "name"
 end %>
