Rails - Oct 2005 - TZInfo::Timezone problem selected value

hey, i have a record in the database gtm_zone with value
''Europe/London''

i want to have a select box with all the zones and the corrected selected
@firm.gmt_zone = Europe/London

TimeZone from ruby (trying to expand with TZinfo)
dont want to select Europe/London, and not sorted

<select id="firm_gmt_zone" name="firm[gmt_zone]">
	<%= time_zone_options_for_select(selected = @firm.gmt_zone, 
priority_time_zones = nil, model = TZInfo::Timezone)  %><br />
</select>


the selectlist from TZInfo
this list is sorted, but the value isnt selected

<%= time_zone_select ''user'', ''time_zone'',
TZInfo::Timezone.all.sort, :model
=> TZInfo::Timezone, :selected => @firm.gmt_zone %>


anyone any solutions?

thanks

The first argument of time_zone_select is the name of the object. The 
second is the name of the attribute containing the timezone name. 
:selected isn''t needed. You probably want use the following:

<%= time_zone_select ''firm'', ''gmt_zone'',
TZInfo::Timezone.all.sort,
:model => TZInfo::Timezone %>
