Rails - May 2006 - Form Field Helpers... Do they need objects?

I''m trying to use the select helper but do not need to pass the values 
back to an object because this is just used as a param value. Everywhere 
I''ve looked I see that the form field helpers require an object name. 
I''ve tried omitting the name but I get an error telling me I have two 
few paramaters. (2 out of 3)

Other than typing out the HTML myself (because the values are being 
generated from another function) is there a way to not need an object 
name for the form field helpers? Or is there another set of helpers that 
don''t require object names? Thanks.
