Here''s an example of the code I''m trying to get working...
<%= collection_select(''book'',
''book_type_id'', all_book_types, ''id'',
''name'', :prompt => "Select Book Type...", :style
=> "width:200px" ) %>
I''ve tried a bunch of different permutations but can''t get the
style
width to even appear in the html output. Putting the style hash in
braces with or with the "html_options =" explicitly called out
doesn''t
help. I''ve Googled and looked at the API but can figure this one out.
Any ideas?

I''m wondering if I should try using something besides collection_select so the width style is rendered to html output. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I figured it out finally...
..., { :prompt => "Select Book Type..." }, { "style"
=> "width:200px" }
This will set the width of a collection_select pulldown menu.
Maybeposting the solution will help someone else if ever needed.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarity!

Also, one other tip for collection_select: If you don''t need the prompt, you can use this: …, {}, { "style" => "width:200px" } -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Style attributes do not belong in good HTML. Instead, use a separate CSS file. (For best results, add Sass and Compass into the mix.)
