Rails - Jul 2008 - howto turn off HTML escaping in form helper 'select'

Hi All

I noticed that the form helper ''select'' does automatically do
HTML
escaping for values within the option tag. I need to show thing like the
euro sign, so I need to be able to turn this feature off.

Controller:
  @crncy = %w($ &#8364 €)

View:
 form.select(:id, @crncy.collect {|c| [ c, ''bla'' ] }, {:prompt
=>
''&#8364''})

The euro sign in :prompt is shown correctly, but the others are not.

Any suggestions ?

thnx
LuCa

ps I''m using rails 2.0.2

It''s hardcoded to do this. Can''t thing of anything you can do
except
build up the option tags yourself.
