Rails - Jun 2006 - select or select_tag ?

hello PPL,

I''ve seen now that the _form.rhtml generated by script/scaffold is  
populated by

<%= text_field ''model'', ''field''  %>
without _tag!

but only text_field_tag is to be found in the 1.1.2 documentation..   
(like in the rest of Module ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper there  
is _tag)

I''ve tried to use <%= select instead of <% select_tag and it
works
AND the first one generates:

<select id="tesi_relatore_id"
name="tesi[relatore_id]">

and the other

<select id="tesi_controrelatore_id"
name="tesi_controrelatore_id">

my class can be saved just using the first one. but now I''ve problem  
with the ''option prameter'' :<

I''m a bit confused :)

found out that (what a pain!)

     @relatori = Relatore.find(:all)
     @relatori_select = Array.new
     for relatore in @relatori
     	@relatori_select.push([relatore.nome << " " <<  
relatore.cognome, relatore.id.to_s])
     end

this is ok for <%= select
''tesi'',''relatore_id'', @relatori_select %>

AND

     @correlatori = Correlatore.find(:all)
     @correlatori_select = "<option value=0> - nessuno -
</option>"
     for correlatore in @correlatori
     	@correlatori_select << "<option value=" <<
correlatore.id.to_s
<< ">" << correlatore.nome << " "
<< correlatore.cognome << "</option>"
     end

works for <%= select_tag "tesi_correlatore_id", @correlatori_select
%>

mHisterycal LOL
