Any ideas on how the best way to handle this? If you have a select()
form helper, and you use the :variable, and :attribute parameters. the
resulting <select> tag combines them in the id attribute:
E.g.
<%= select(:user, :name, %w{some tag values} %>
turns into:
<select id="user_name" name="user[name]">
....
This is Ok and it works so the model can extract the information from
the @params array. But it screws up my CSS. (legacy CSS) Since there
is no selector called #user_name to match the id attribute, it reverts
to the enclosing style
Is this just a neccessary evil? Or am I missing something obvious
here? Such as :class => "myOptionsStyle" in the html_options hash?
Thanks for your input. BTW, I solved it short term by adding the
#user_name seletor to the style sheet.

It''s the name attribute that can''t be changed if you want Rails to create a structured params hash. -- We develop, watch us RoR, in numbers too big to ignore.
