Rails - Apr 2006 - simple collection_select problem.

Hi,

I can do this :

collection_select "state", :id, TrainingState.find_all,:id,:name

but not this :

collection_select "state[]", :id, TrainingState.find_all,:id,:name

Anyone any idea why?  Is there something about collection_select that 
does not allow collections?

Thanks
Chris

This will work, but only when @state came from the DB, not
when it''s new.  When new you need to use the index option
instead.

Plus I don''t think you want to use a dropdown to select the
id attribute of @state.  Shouldn''t it be something like
training_state_id instead?
