Rails - Mar 2006 - setting tab order in a select form field

Hi
I''m trying to set the tab order for a select form element. I''m
doing it like
so:

<%= select ''issue'', ''person_name'',
people, "tabindex" => 6  %>

but it gets ignored and  I  get this for output:

<select id="issue_person_name"
name="issue[person_name]"><option
value="1">Administrator</option>

The same syntax works for input elements so I assumed it would work
for selects. I must be doing something dumb :)

Thanks.

I suspect you need some braces in there. Take a look at the api for select; it
takes two
hashes... Your example doesn''t seem to distinguish the options hash, so
select is probably
interpreting the tabindex as something else and dropping it.
