Rails - Jun 2008 - Unable to get selected option with options_from_collection_for_select

I''m in Rails 2.1, Ruby 1.8.6 --

http://pastie.org/211063

<%= params[:doctor_id] %>
<%options_from_collection_for_select(Doctor.active, :id, :name, :selected
=> params[:doctor_id]) %>

<%options_from_collection_for_select(Doctor.active, :id, :name,
:selected_value
=> params[:doctor_id]) %>

Returns:

53
<option value="49">Michael Summer</option>
<option value="52">Susan Miller</option>
<option value="53">Kenny Storm</option>
<option value="55">Tank Bordem</option>

<option value="49">Michael Summer</option>
<option value="52">Susan Miller</option>
<option value="53">Kenny Storm</option>
<option value="55">Tank Bordem</option>


So params[:doctor_id] is clearly = to Kenny Storm (value 53) but it is
not adding selected to the tag.

Any ideas?

Make sure you''ve placed it in the right hash of arguments.

Maybe it''s something like

<%= options_from_collection_for_select(Doctor.active, :id, :name, {},
{:selected => params[:doctor_id]}) %>
