Please remember in the future that this list is for questions specific to

It is Rails related. Currently I have collection_select(:table, method, :id :name) Within this I wanted to know if there was a specific way to add an option in addition to what I''m pulling out of the database.

I am not sure if this answers your question but at: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html#M000404 For "options_for_select" and "collection_select" I found options ":include_blank" and ":selected".
