Hi,
Would someone be able to give me a quick example using select(), or point me
to additional info? I''ve been trying to figure it out for awhile now.
I''m
sure it''s probably very easy and that I''m not in the right
mindset.
Originally I got stuck in this mindset that options = {} was for the actual
<option></option> tags! :) Finally I realized that''s what
the ''choices''
argument is for.
What''s the best way to take the results from:
@places = Place.find_all
and use it with select()? I also can''t seem to figure out how to get
the
<option> to read <option value="id">value</option>.

use collection_select
<%= collection_select("job", "client" , @clients,
"id", "name") %>
@clients holds a collection of Client objects, id ends up being the
value and name ends up being the text displayed
this would create:
<select name="job[client]">
<option value="1">Francisco Hernandez</option>
<option value="2">James Earl</option>
</select>
