Am I just using this wrong or does the select_tag helper not accept choices to select from? I am refering to the documentation at ap.rubyonrails.com and in the bottom left finding the function name select_tag I looked up the function select and it does accept choices to select from but it is designed to set a field in an object. I tried building a form using select without an object and the form will render and submit but I am guessing at how to access the value. - Michael
I think this will do what you want:
<%= select_tag(:v_type,
options_for_select([["Coach", "c"], ["Assistant
Coach", "ac"]],
@params[:v_type])) %>
Access it like so:
@params[:v_type]
