This code is working: select_tag(:search,options_for_select(("a".."e").to_a,"e")) But the following code is not working. select( :search,:age_to,("a".."e").to_a,"e") I tried different combinations of the above code. No success. What am I missing here? I am trying to have the value ''e'' as selected in the drop down menu. -=- Neeraj _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
