Rails - Aug 2006 - select() can't do float or anything other than a string?

I have a database field that is a float type. If I do form_for and then 
f.select :the_field it will not select the db value unless I make it a 
string.

I''ve had a hard time with this many times. Is there something
I''m
missing here? Shouldn''t it convert it to a string for me and compare
the
results?

Thanks for your help.
