Hello,
I have the following code in the little application that I am writing. It is
basically taken directly out of the Agile Web Development with Rails book.
In the controller:
@exercises = Exercise.find(:all).map { |f| [f.name, f.id] }
And in the view
<% form_tag :action => ''create'' do %>
....
<label for="exercises">Exercise: </label><%=
select_tag(:id, @exercises)
%>
<% end %>
And this is what it is producing:
<label for="exercises">Exercise: </label><select
id="id" name="id">Incline
Dumbbell Press1Push-up2Squats3Incline Dumbbell
Press4Push-up5Squats6asdfasdf7another
test8asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf12349asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf123410111test exercise -
no description12testing error stuffs13</select>
This is obviously not what I was expecting. It makes it really hard to pick
something from what I thought would be a nice little drop down select
widget.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Chris

select_tag creates the <select></select> tag, but you need to add in
the
options you want...do something like this:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html#M000511
select_tag("id", options_from_collection_for_select(@excersises,
"title", "id"))
hth :)
