need to print "selected=selected" when editing a form

I have looked at this gropu and this page
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html#M000506

...but I am unable to figure this out.

Here are my tables (short version)
People
  id
  fname
  lname
  state_id
States
  id
  name

I have the _form.rhtml working in a basic sense:
<label for="person_state_id">State</label>:	<%=
select("person",
"state_id", State.find(:all).collect {|s| [s.name, s.id]} ) %>

It works fine when I am creating a new record.  I select the state I
want and the ID goes into the state_id field.  The problem is when I
go to edit the page it defaults to "Alabama," the first record.  I
need it to select the correct state ID.  I have played with it a lot
and basically I need it to print this:  selected="selected"    on the
correct state.

Suggestions?

thanks

Your controller needs to load the current row into an instance
variable called @person. The selected state will be taken from
@person.state_id

Show us your controller code.

      redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @person

Re: need to print "selected=selected" when editing a form

hey Aaron,

<label for="person_state_id">State</label>:       <%=
select("person",
"state_id", State.find(:all).collect {|s| [s.name, s.id]}, {:selected
=>@person.state_id} ) %>

even after trying above code, are you facing same problem?
why because, according to rails document if you pass :selected options
surely it should work.

the 4th argument to select..

<%= select("person", "state_id", State.find(:all).collect
{|s|
[s.name, s.id]}, {:selected =>@person.state_id} ) %>

You are missing a '')'' somewhere above the line with the
''end'' (i.e.,
line 94) and the interpreter knows that ''end'' isn''t
valid at that
point so that''s where it complains.
