Rails - Nov 2005 - non model select_tag problem

What am I doing wrong here:

select_tag(''website_ids[]'', 
options_from_collection_for_select(Website.find_all, ''id'',
''name'',
params[:website_ids]), {:multiple => true, :size => 5})

It works fine except that it does not display the selected options once 
the form is submitted (it submits to the same page). The 
"params[:website_ids]" part has to be wrong somehow, right?

Try @params[:website_ids]

Alternatively I have done it like this:

<% receivers = @dealing.receivers if @dealing.receivers%>
<%= 
select_tag("receivers[]",options_from_collection_for_select(Party.find_all,
"id","name",receivers),{:multiple =>true})%>

I have a multiselect receivers tag . Each Dealing class has and belongs 
to many receivers aka parties.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, still does not work though.

I should point out that it works with this code:
select_tag(''website_ids[]'', 
options_from_collection_for_select(Website.find_all, ''id'',
''name'',
[1,3,5]), {:multiple => true, :size => 5})

The only thing different is that "params[:website_ids]" is replaced
with
the hard coded "[1,3,5]".

Solved it now, the problem was that the params[:website_ids] array was 
an array of strings and not integers so I had to convert each element of 
the array to an integer using .to_i before I could use it in the 
options_from_collection_for_select tag method.
