I''m using the following tag in a partial: <%= select_tag options_from_collection_for_select(@cuisines, "name", "id") %> to create a drop down menu of cuisines. However, the output I''m getting it an empty menu. When I view the source I see the following: <select id="<option value="Lunch Menu">1</option> <option value="Group Bookings">2</option> <option value="BYOB">3</option>" name="<option value="Lunch Menu">1</option> <option value="Group Bookings">2</option> <option value="BYOB">3</option>"></select> Any ideas as to what is going wrong? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks! By the way, is there any way of having one of the menu options select all cuisines? Or could one of the options perhaps send a null value to my action, then I could just say if it''s null show all cuisines. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can do something like this:
select_tag(''new_member'',
options_for_select(['''']+@group.logins_not_in_group))
As you see you can add blank ('''') as a new option.
