Rails - Oct 2006 - Help with a select_tag; getting an undefined method `stringify_keys' error

Hi,

I''m trying to use a select_tag in the following manner:

<%= select_tag(:received_at, @select_dates, String(params[:received_at]) )
%>

But I get this error:

undefined method `stringify_keys'' for "":String

Removing the third parameter eliminates the error, but I was hoping
that the drop-down list will select whichever string in the drop-down
list matches params[:received_at].

Thanks in advance!

For the benefit of someone searching through this list, my
implementation of the below was wrong.  I needed to use
options_for_select().

So, it should have been:

<%= select_tag(:received_at, options_for_select(@select_dates,
@params[:received_at])) %>
