Rails - Dec 2005 - Using dropdown to choose ID (noob question!)

I''m trying to use a dropdown to select the id of a record to load.

My view code:

<%= form_remote_tag :update=>"editAread", :url => {:action
=> "loadArea"} %>
<%=collection_select(:area, :id, @areas, :id, :name ) %> <%submit_tag
''Load'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>


Then the controller code:

  def loadArea
      @editArea=ContentArea.find(params[:area])
      render :partial => "editArea"
  end


But I get this error:

Unknown key(s): id


There is an id field in the content_areas table. What am I missing here?

@editArea=ContentArea.find(params[:area][:id])
