Rails - Apr 2006 - select box with multiple rows

I want a select box that displays 5 rows instead of one row and a drop down.
so i figure this should work, but it doesn''t.

<%= collection_select(:constellation, :region_id, @regions, :id, :name,
html_options = {:size => ''5''})%>

I am not quite sure how to use that html_options and googling around I didnt
find anything directly on point.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Try

collection_select(
  :constellation,
  :region_id,
  @regions,
  :id,
  :name,
  nil,
  {
    :multiple => true,
    :size     => 5
  }
)
