Is there a trick to validating select menus? I have this rule:
validates_presence_of :title, :type
:title is a text box and validates correctly but :type doesn''t:
<p>
<label for="resource_type">Type</label><br/>
<select name="resource[type]" id="resource_type">
<option value=""
selected="selected"></option>
<option value="Web">Web</option>
<option value="Data">Data</option>
</select>
</p>

Thanks man. I found that out earlier. What a hassle. I didn''t even think about it because it wasn''t in the reserved words list.
