I have several select options on a form and was planning on using
options_for_select.
If I use the code below the options do not appear in order on the
form, I am not really
sure of the order they are appearing since it is not alphabetical
either.
<%= options_for_select({"Co-ed" => "Co-ed",
"Men" => "Men", "Women"
=> "Women", "Please select student body" =>
"None"}, "None") %>
Would I be better off to use a traditional HTML <option> tag and put
my options in the
order I want them to display?
For the record this is the order they display now on the form with
the code above:
Men
Please select student body
Co-ed
Women
Thanks!

Instead of a hash, try passing in an ActiveSupport::OrderedHash options = ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.new options["Co-ed"] = "Co-ed" options[""Men"] = "Men" etc. It is ugly tho :-( Vish On 8/14/07, Scott Parks <scottaparks-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I have several select options on a form and was planning on using > options_for_select. > > If I use the code below the options do not appear in order on the > form, I am not really > sure of the order they are appearing since it is not alphabetical > either. > > <%= options_for_select({"Co-ed" => "Co-ed", "Men" => "Men", "Women" > => "Women", "Please select student body" => "None"}, "None") %> > > Would I be better off to use a traditional HTML <option> tag and put > my options in the > order I want them to display? > > For the record this is the order they display now on the form with > the code above: > > Men > Please select student body > Co-ed > Women > > Thanks! > > -Scott > > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That works, but as you said it is kind of ugly, this is a new user form so I am not worried about making the select''s sticky. Do you see a need to do it this way if the values are static? Or is a regular <option> tag ok?
