Hey was wondering how to setup a select box that when I call
Model.new(params[:model]) it will automatically putit into the db...
I tried
<select name="home_bedrooms" id="home_bedrooms">
<option value="0">0</option>
...
</select>
then when I do @home = Home.new(params[:home]) that field doesnt insert
into the db.. any ideas?

Did you remember to execute @home.save afterward?

Hey Ray, if the Home attribute is "bedrooms", as in Home.new().bedrooms, *and* you are getting params[:home] then the name attribute of your select tag should be "home[bedrooms]". The rails form helpers will keep you on the right track here: http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ FormOptionsHelper.html#M000399 as in <%= select :home, :bedrooms, [0,1,2,3,4,5] %> will create a select box with a name of home[bedrooms] with an option list from 0 through 5. Although I''ve not tried it you could probably use a ruby "Range" of (0..5) as well.
