I have an edit form where the form elements are in a partial. Everything but one select box is being populated by the database information. There are actuall 2 select boxes on the page and the first one populated from the database but the second doesn''t. Here''s the code that doesn''t populate. ----------------------------- <%= select( ''employee'', ''priority'', { "1 - Top" => "1", "2" => "2", "3" => "3", "4" => "4", "5" => "5"}, :include_blank => true) %> ----------------------------- Here is the full form code ---------------------------- <%= error_messages_for ''employee'' %> <!--[form:employee]--> <p><label for="employee_active">Active</label><br/> <select id="employee_active" name="employee[active]"><option value="false">False</option><option value="true">True</option></select></p> <p><label for="employee_first_name">First name</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''first_name'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_last_name">Last name</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''last_name'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_department">Department</label><br/> <%= select( ''employee'', ''department'', { "Sales - New" => "new", "Sales - Pre-Owned" => "preowned", "Sales - Internet" => "internet", "Finance" => "finance", "Service" => "service", "Parts" => "parts", "Body Shop" => "bodyshop"}, :include_blank => true) %></p> <p><label for="employee_title">Title</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''title'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_main_telephone">Main telephone</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''main_telephone'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_direct_telephone">Direct telephone</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''direct_telephone'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_email">Email</label><br/> <%= text_field ''employee'', ''email'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_priority">Sorting Priority</label><br /> <%= select( ''employee'', ''priority'', { "1 - Top" => "1", "2" => "2", "3" => "3", "4" => "4", "5" => "5"}, :include_blank => true) %></p> <p><label for="employee_about">About</label><br/> <%= text_area ''employee'', ''about'' %></p> <p><label for="employee_employee_photo">Employee photo</label><br/> <%= file_column_field ''employee'', ''employee_photo'' %> </p> <!--[eoform:employee]--> ------------------ The "priority" column updates just fine with the select box, it just doesn''t populate from the db on load. The only difference between the two select boxes on the page is the first is a varchar column while the "priority" column is an integer. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
