Rails - Mar 2006 - Select not providing default option

Hello all.

I am running Rails 1.0 and am having trouble with the select box. In the 
API it says.

"Create a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the 
provided object and method. The option currently held by the object will 
be selected, provided that the object is available. See 
options_for_select for the required format of the choices parameter."

and then goes on to provide a parameter

I find myself in that exact scenario (replace @post.person_id with 
@area.uniface_version_id) but the value is not appearing as the default 
when the page is loaded.

@area.uniface_version_id is definately populated (checked in the 
breakpointer) but it isn''t being set as standard for some reason 
(Nothing is).

The code is

Controller:

  def edit
    @area = Area.find(params[:id])
    render :partial => ''edit''
  end

View:

<%= select(''area'', ''uniface_version_id'',
UnifaceVersion.find_all.collect
{|uv| [ uv.name, uv.id ] }, { :include_blank => true }) %>

(This was copied verbatim from the scaffold _form partial)

If anyone has any pointers that would be great.

Thanks

Jeff
